When I saw the headline, I thought judgment had come on a segment of Christians, reducing us to ash!

No. That would have read: "More Protestants are turning to Ash, Wednesday", but if you'll notice, no comma.

Thanks for the clarification. With so much poor grammar in the news media, I didn’t want to assume anything.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
