Protestants, as I understand it, believe that there was a falling away, or apostasy from the the original church, or else they would not have broken off from Catholicism.
I understand that Catholics believe that the keys of the kingdom have been with the Roman Catholic Church from the beginning until now.
As far as the three Nephites are concerned (and John the Beloved), they were separated from the world by God for a particular mission. They are to tarry until the Lord comes, doing a special work.

Not quite. It isn’t an apostasy, rather the protestant movement was a reformation of issues within catholicism, not a restoration.

If they are still here, and have the priesthood then there is no apostasy.
