You might say that, Catholics belong to the Church that Jesus Christ founded for our salvation. He founded only one church "My Church" and put St. Peter and his successor over it as Vicars to guide it (Matthew 16:17-19). He sent the Holy Spirit to guide it always and guaranteed it until the end of the world. Protestants are descendants of the heretics who rejected Christ's Church in the sixteenth century and founded their own religious communities. They have no guarantees. That being said, most protestants are Christians as they are validly baptized and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation, and thus should be treated as our brothers, howbeit in error, they are only formal heretics, not material heretics, as they are just the recipients of their father's apostasy.
