You will have to define the term ,"protestant,"? The Church in England is no more than a Communion of Catholic believers within the Body of Christ!

Classicly Protestant refers to Lutherans in the Continental Reformation.

Rome claimed to be protestant to the House Lords in 1791.

While Anglicans refused to use the term in a theological context, using it only to protest against papal interference in domestic English Politics in the 16& 17th Cent.

The Episcopal church is part of the "Anglican Communion", which means it is nominally part of the Church of England (which is the Anglican Church). However, for all practical purposes it operates independently from the English church.

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?

The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
