Protestants-true Protestants-are required to "study to show ourselves approved". This is far more difficult than having someone tell you what to believe Excuse me? Have you ever heard of Catechism? Apparently not. Ignorance is bliss. And by whose standards are Proestants being "proved?" There is nothing easier than convincing oneself that what you believe is true and "guided" by the Holy Spirit.

Excuse me? Have you ever heard of Catechism? Excuse me. Protestants have Catechism as well. There is quite a bit of difference between memorizing doctrinal beliefs and study to show yourself approved.

Except perhaps having someone tell you what to believe because THEY are guided by the Holy Spirit.
