I am not anathematizing Protestants as individuals.

Of course. Another thing that is important is that no one is saying that Protestantism, -- even its ugly Calvinist mutant bastard, -- is 100 percent wrong. Numbers don't work her, but ANY brand of Protestantism is a departure from the solid ground of Catholic Orthodoxy. (There are our own internal departures, too). So we should not be surprised when a Protestant reads, understands and explains the scripture in a perfectly Catholic way -- at times. His method is wrong, his whole worldview is a heresy, his pastor can barely read English, but the grandfather of Protestantism is the Catholic Church, so we agree more often than we know. Let us not forget that, especially now at Lent when Satan has really great fears to face.

Numbers don’t work her -> Numbers don’t work here

At times I say, Protestantism is 90% Catholicism, and that is really not proper use of arithmetic.
