Not really. The changes made at Trent were not even that noticeable to the faithful. For example the Dominican or Sarun rites, while different to Trent, are not that much different to the average person. The Novus Ordo mass would be fairly unrecognizable to Catholics living during most of its history. It would be recognizable to Protestants though lol.

“Not really. The changes made at Trent were not even that noticeable to the faithful.”

I didn’t mention Trent, but actually the differences (and that’s the proper word, not “changes”) were very noticeable outside of the Papal provinces. The Catholic liturgy in England was not the Roman liturgy, for instance. It was the Sarum liturgy. The two were similar enough that a faithful Catholic would feel comfortable in either with some regular attendance, but there were stark differences too. In France there were other liturgies as well differing from province to province or city to city. These differences were organic. Even within Italy there were major differences between the Ambrosian liturgy and the Roman.

“For example the Dominican or Sarun rites, while different to Trent, are not that much different to the average person.”

Not “that much different” is still different and noticeable.

“The Novus Ordo mass would be fairly unrecognizable to Catholics living during most of its history.”

If done in Latin, it would not be so “unrecognizable” at all. And if it were “unrecognizable” then it would be because it differed from their local liturgy and not the Roman which many of them knew nothing about.

“It would be recognizable to Protestants though lol.”

And the 1962 Mass in English would be fairly recognizable to many Protestants as well. Some more than others: http://www.s-clements.org/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Clement%27s_Church_(Philadelphia,_Pennsylvania)#Liturgy
