Best Answer

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) have never considered themselves to be a Protestant tradition.

The Church considers itself to be a Restorationist Christian tradition. They believe that true Christianity had to be restored directly by God, rather than reformed from existing faiths, as the Protestants believe.

No. Protestantism arose from various attempts to reform Catholicism.

Mormonism is part of the Restorationist movement. It considers itself an entirely new restoration of the original gospel, as taught by Jesus Christ. It's not a break-off from any existing Catholic or Protestant sect.

No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) is not Protestant, it is Restorationist.

Protestant churches can trace their lineage to reformations of the Catholic church. Protestant churches include Lutherans, Methodists, most Baptists, and Presbyterians.

Restorationist churches believe that true Christianity had to be restored, rather than reformed. They typically started independently and were not a reformation of any other church. Restorationist churches include Adventists, Disciples of Christ, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons.

Do Catholics get along better with Mormons or protestants?

This really is something that is treated on an individual basis and not the relations between denominations as a whole. The Catholic Church certainly has a right to not approve of Mormons or Protestants, as both claim that the Catholic Church has gone astray. The Catholic Church generally has good relations with other denominations and individual Catholic groups work together with both Protestant and Mormon groups on a regular basis. Whether an individual Catholic prefers the company of Protestants or Mormons would be based on his/her individual personality, as they will have many common beliefs with people from both religions.
