It refers to a wide variety of Christian churches - many of the non-catholic churches are included in this category. From the Wikipedia article: "The term is most closely tied to those groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation."

Protestantism is a form of Christianity. The term Protestant came from European societies 'protesting' the rule and the power of the Catholic Church and its leader the Pope. Protestants follow the old and the new testaments of the Christian Bible. There are many denominations of Protestantism, such as Anglican, Baptist, Congregational, Lutheran, Methodist, Pentecostal, Quaker, or Reformed; and each of these denominations include a number of different sects of their own.
