Which undermines the whole concept of a “Protestant”Church. Some Protestants protest that they don't like statues and religious pictures (yet put them in the Hall of Statues in the Capital or in their garden), others want the right to divorce (as Henry VIII the founder of the Episcopal Church did), others accept open sodomites as "clergy", where does it end? Either Our Lord sent they apostates (Matthew 28:18) or we are all free (Sola) to decided for ourselves.

Protestant church is just short hand term for western denominations that somewhere a ways back broke away from the catholic church. its just short hand. but it doesn’t mean much beyond that. never has.

for example we don’t think of small eastern christian sects in moslem lands —that are not orthodox—as protestant.

Similarly you’ll hear unitarians say the word trinitarian is not used in the bible. that’s because “trinitarian” is short hand for a theological position. same goes for unitarian. unitarian is not used in the bible. its a shorthand word for a theological position.

for that matter the word catholic is not used in the bible. but catholic is not short hand. nor is eastern orthodox. but they can be used as short hand for theological positions.

a definition of terms is always helpful. it saves a lot of trouble later on.
