Bits and pieces.
As for 'other Christians' (like Catholic and Orthodox), we agree with mainline Protestants on the Holy trinity and Dual Nature of Christ. This is where out agreement ends. Including the Bible versions.
Christ's mission was never to reform the world, ... but rather, ... to save souls out of the world.
That's why His parting words were "Baptize all nations..." from paganism into true faith. I would call that reforming the world. Since then, many have been saved by the Church, and many have been destroyed in the name of Christ.
Protestants agree with other (and with other christians) on far more than you think.

Well ... you should know.
Rather than just make these general, rather judgemental statements ... why not offer some evidence of your positions.

I think that Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants agree on all of the elements of the Apostles and Nicene Creeds.
That's a bit more than you give us credit for.

In the vast majority, those who are drawn to the gospel (of all nations) have been given the opportunity to accept God's saving grace.
I think that you have to offer more evidence that Christ's mission was to reform the world.John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
