Got any scripture to back that up, or are you just relying on 'tradition'?

The authority in the Church rests in apostolic commission (succession), in the office of a bishop. Neither Protestants nor Baptists do not have valid clergy.

Neither Protestants nor Baptists do not have valid clergy should read "Neither Protestants nor Baptists have valid clergy."

Chapter 15. Bishops and Deacons; Christian Reproof. Appoint, therefore, for yourselves, bishops and deacons worthy of the Lord, men meek, and not lovers of money, and truthful and proved; for they also render to you the service of prophets and teachers.

Appoint for yourselves? Who said that? No way to know & the The Didache didn’t make it into the canon. Is it any wonder why?
