//Joseph Smith was a Protestant. He then went off and began his own “reformation.” There is no difference between Smith, Luther, Calvin etc...//
Wrong again, you don’t know LDS history or early 19th Century US religious history either.. Smith was never a protestant, he was an occultist with a father and grandfather who were Universalists as well. He never belonged to any church growing up.
And he didn’t begin a ‘reformation’ he claimed a RESTORATION. There are several restoration groups that come out New York in then mid 19th century. None are protestant or classify themselves as such. They consider themselves to be a restoration of Christianity from before the time (in their word) the Catholics corrupted it.
I can provide sources. You are lumping groups together that are not the same and showing your ignorance of the facts. Furthermore, you own Catholic church does not classify them as the same. And yes, since Vatican II all Protestant baptism are accepted, Mormons however are not. Those who do not use the Trinitarian formula are not protestants either.
The "New Apostolic Church" Does not use a Trinitarian formula, they are an offshoot of Lutheranism, and are quite protestant. The Catholic Church does not accept their baptism.
