What does that mean? Catholics and the Orthodox are as opposite from the Gnostic heresy as one can get. Only some of the Protestant groups approach it, and even they do so only to a small degree (though one can argue that Mormons are pretty much modern Gnostics, but they aren’t even Protestants I would argue).

Gnosticism started way before Christianity and the Apostle Paul was up to his ears in it.

I know of no Protestant denomination that embraces Gnosticism in the least.
