Do you consider Baptists to be Protestants? I ask this because different Baptists are either for this statement or against it and I don't wish to offend you by saying you are or are not Protestant
On a generic level, of course. Baptists, for the most part, embrace the teachings of the Reformers.
But on a technical, literal level, no. No Baptist church of today was a Catholic congregation that protested against Rome and subsequently separated.
