Of course!! The vast majority of Protestants accept the same Christian beliefs as laid down in the Creeds as Catholics believe. The only difference is that Protestants, on the whole, reject certain beliefs of the Catholic Church (such as purgatory, over adulation of the Virgin Mary, praying to saints, the adulation of relics, infallibility of the pope and so on) and regard them as unbiblical and an invention of humans rather than revealed by God, and they also reject papal authority in favour of the authority of scripture.

Protestants also typically reject certain Catholic teachings and practices, such as papal authority and the veneration of saints.
