Like I said earlier, I really don’t like the term “Protestant”. I was raised Baptist and we claim were were never part the things that others say they protest.

Right or wrong. Not everyone who is not Catholic or Jewish is what is stereotyped as Protestant. (but almost none of us wearing the label are Leftists, Globalists, or Islamists. And certainly not Anti-American)

It’s hard for me to picture any pres. nominee campaigning on nominating SC picks on religious grounds. How would it work? Maybe they could get away with campaigning on a non-ivy league law school nomination.

Correct. Anabaptist denominations (Baptist being but one) are often regarded as not Protestant by people who know church history, since they claim they were never a part of the Catholic Church.

(Modern so-called Non-Denominational churches are mostly Anabaptist/Armenian functionally. I have never encountered one that aligns with any Protestant denomination, although some conflate Calvinist aspects within the broader context; the common denominator is that they all denounce Baptism as a Sacrament, considering it strictly symbolic.)
