There is more dissension among the Catholic rites than there is between some Protestant denominations.
The EO don’t recognize the supremacy of the Roman Pontiff, something the Roman Catholic church claims over all churches. That makes them no different than any Protestant church.

They recognize the sacraments, which places them firmly in the camp opposite Protestants. The Pope is not the only distinction between Catholics and Protestants, you know.
