non denominationalism has no hierarchical chain of command the governing authority (in matters of operations and discipleship) ends with the pastor, or leadership team So yes, that would make all of them Protestant - BUT - non denominational Protestant

Agreed. The theological descriptive is Protestant (which was my reference here) and the governance descriptive is non-denominational, as you said.

From a purely technical standpoint, most independent evangelical Churches are NOT protestant as they do not trace their authority or doctrine directly to the reformation.
