Protestants have ALL the sacraments.
This is news to me. Most Protestant sects are against the idea of the sacramental system, chalking it up to Catholic ritualism. And if they do believe in sacraments, usually it's just baptism and marriage. Possibly Holy Orders if they have some sort of hierarchical clerical system.
However, I couldn't tell you if every sect that has one or more sacrament (as Catholics understand them) refer to them as sacraments or understand them the same way that Catholics do.

Please try to get beyond the rhetoric. Fact is Protestants and Catholics use the same scriptures as authority for the same things. Ergo, they are the same even if the words and actions appear to be different.
