Hard work is sometimes referred to as a “Protestant work ethic”

In Protestant countries. In Japan, it is probably known as Shintoist work ethics. The Soviet Union had this distinction: Hero of Socialist Labor, and it was given to people who indeed worked very hard. But what does it have to do with Catholicism's fundemental conservatism and Protestantism's definitional liberalism?

I was illustrating absurd, stupid, tribalist, religious sweeping statements. Nice of you to chime in with your contribution.
