This is what I said - they are not aware of it.
But in the end, yes, they would acknowledge that they are Christians and that Jesus is their messiah and savior.
This plus exclusive reliance of the Holy Scripture (in the Lutheran/Calvinistic version) is what makes them Protestant. They do not recognise the visible Church with the unbroken Apostolic Succesion, Tradition and continuous sacramental life.
Well, I've heard both the Orthodox and the RC churches claim this refers to them. Which is correct?
