Protestants are pretty much any Christian denomination other than the Catholics. However some assume that they are mostly members of the Church of England, ie. the Anglicans.
In general terms, it is the denominations that have developed from the split with the Catholic Church which began with the Reformation. Some of the main ones are the Lutherans, Reformed churches, Methodists, Anglican, and Presbyterian amongst others.

∙ 15y agoProtestants are a branch of Christianity. They are called Protestants because they protested against the Roman Catholic church (think 1500s), which was saying that you could buy salvation from them, instead of getting it from Jesus. The Roman Catholic church has since gone through it's own reformation, so it doesn't do that anymore, but the point is that Protestantism was formed then, and is still here today. Some of their beliefs are different from Catholicism, but they still hold the basic parts that make them part of Christianity.
