NL: They are pretty much the same thing.

Which doesn't answer the question. It just changes the subject.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church......841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330

Well, if there's no difference between Protestants and Muslims ("they are pretty much the same thing"), we should be joining them in first place in line for salvation.
