this "33,000" number makes no mention of "Protestants" but rather is inclusive of all "Christian" denominations, including Catholic organizations.Thank you, Annie, for posting that information!
As previously stated, there is only ONE Catholic Church + some organizations (which don't count as denominations), hence that leaves 33,000+ "Christian" Church denominations. End of argument!

End of argument!I'm afraid not. That's not how the originator of the "33,000" number sees it. He wasn't counting "Protestant" denominations.
