Christians follow Christ. Protestants follow their own individual interpretations of their preferred Bible(s).
Just as scripture teaches should be done.
1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
Do you pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit and submit to Him or do you "submit will and intellect" to the magisterium as demanded by the Catholic Catechism?

Christians do not ‘interpret’ the Bible. The Bible is written in fairly plain fashion, and has absolutely no need for interpretation.
Interpretation comes in when one rejects the plain meaning that the Holy Spirit gives us, and seeks to turn it to something more pleasing to man. This is the catholic method.
That is why catholics reject the scriptures.
