I believe just the opposite may be true. It is as a result of willpower that protestant churches have branched off into ... what is the present number? 35,000+? ... denominations. The one fidelity they all share is belief in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

Not at all. It takes faith, which either you have or don't.

No more than it does to be a Catholic.
