As I said before, with the exception (and even these vary by degrees) of the rejection of papal primacy, professed adherence to sola scriptura and rejection of Purgatory, can you list a SINGLE belief that Evangelicals or Protestants share which Catholics do not also share?

As I have answered before, the unifying belief is our belief in The Gospel with no "ands", "buts", or "maybe's".

It is a clear distinction.

Then please explain, what is the unifying belief in the Gospel that Protestants have that distiguishes them from Catholics.

Simply saying, "Protestants believe the Gospel and Catholics don't," doesn't actually mean anything.

And is that why you would consider Unitarians as Protestants?

Note that after the first generation of Protestants - Lutherans, you had the 2nd (Calvinists, Zwinglists), 3rd (Anabaptists, Unitarians), 4th (Baptists), right down to the 7th (Seventh Day adventists and Jehovah's Witnesses) --> it all leads down to these groups as you can see the trajectory of Protestantism ultimately leading to UFO-ology as you can see on this thread
