No. Baptists are not part of the Roman Catholic Denomination. Baptists are people who are part of a number of different denominations that sprang out of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th and 17th centuries.However, the term "catholic" means "universal." Baptists do consider themselves to be part of the universal church. That is, it is part of the church ("Body of Christ") established by Jesus and baptized in the Holy Spirit. That is why Baptists are able to concur with the Nicene Creed when it says "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."

Baptists attend the baptist church. Some baptists do not label themselves as protestant because many try to follow the New Testament model in the letters of Paul in the Bible without reference to the Catholic church traditions.
Some see the Baptists as the descendants of the 16th century Anabaptists (which some view as a product of the Protestant Reformation and others view as a continuation of the older pre-Reformation non-Catholic churches). Johannes Warns states that the first independent Baptist Church was that at Augsburg, Germany, in about 1524. Others see the Baptists as a separation from the Church of England in the early 1600s. Puritan separatists John Smyth and Thomas Helwys are acknowledged by numerous historians as key founders of the modern Baptist denomination. The early Baptists were divided into General Baptists who were Arminian in theology, and Particular Baptists who were Calvinistic in theology. According to Baptist historian H. Leon McBeth, Baptists, as a distinct denomination, originated in England in a time of intense religious reform. McBeth writes, “Our best historical evidence says that Baptists came into existence in England in the early seventeenth century. They apparently emerged out of the Puritan-Separatist movement in the Church of England.”
