“That’s a fact. Jesus would never have included the pagan rituals, beliefs, other abominatios started in Catholic Church which the Protestant churches retained.”
Actually there are no pagan rituals or beliefs in the Catholic Church. Everything is Christian. There are things used by Christians - just about all of them - which were originally used by pagans:
wedding rings,
public exchange of wedding vows,
wedding bouquets,
white wedding dresses,
maids-of-honor,
groomsmen,
honeymoons,
celebration of birthdays,
names like Luke, Robert, George, Agnes, April and literally hundreds of others.
If you had a typical American wedding, then, congratulations because by your own standards you participated in a pagan abomination. If you’re wearing a wedding ring right now, then, congratulations because you even now wearing a pagan abomination (a pagan symbol) by your own logic.

Deuteronomy 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 31 Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God:
According to God there is no "Christianizing" of pagan practices. He calls that an abomination.
Oh, and I am not part of nor do I belong to any Protestant organization.
"The use of temples, and these dedicated to particular saints, and ornamented on occasions with branches of trees; incense, lamps, and candles; votive offerings on recovery from illness; holy water; asylums; holy days and seasons, use of calendars, processions, blessings on the fields, sacerdotal vestments, the tonsure, the ring in marriage, turning to the East, images at a later date, perhaps the ecclesiastical chant, and the Kyrie Eleison, are all of pagan origin, and sanctified by their adoption into the Church." (Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, John Henry Newman)
The missionary history of the [Catholic] Church clearly shows her adaptability to all races, all continents, all nations. In her liturgy and her art, in her tradition and the forming of her doctrine, naturally enough she includes Jewish elements, but also elements that are of pagan origin. In certain respects, she has copied her organization from that of the Roman Empire, has preserved and made fruitful the philosophical intuitions of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, borrowed from both Barbarians and the Byzantine Roman Empire—but always remains herself, thoroughly digesting all elements drawn from external sources...In her laws, her ceremonies, her festivals and her devotions, she makes use of local customs after purifying them and "baptizing" them.
