“Cleanliness is next to Godliness is the saying....’

That is a Protestant saying.

‘Cleanliness is next to Godliness’ is a pseudo-scriptural reference used by parents to get their children to take bathes. I don’t think there is any Protestantism or Catholicism about it.

Yes, it’s a Protestant saying. It does show a certain misguided understanding of what is means to be godly, but it is best to be clean.
