Presbyterians are a subset of Protestants, so they are Protestants. Not all Protestants are Presbyterians, however.
Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker and other Protestants who left Massachusetts because the right to vote there was limited to people who were accepted into the Church. Hooker disagreed with this and other beliefs of the Massachusetts Puritans and left to form Connecticut.
To Protestants, mass as understood and conducted by the Roman Catholic church represents beliefs that are not founded upon Scripture. In particular, they object to the doctrine of transubstantiation, that during the mass the bread and wine are transformed in essence into the body and blood of Jesus. For one thing, this says (to the Protestants) that the sacrifice of Christ upon the cross is being re-done, that his original death on Golgotha was not enough to completely pay for all of our sins.
Not much specifically, the Catholic Church has always prayed that all protestants would return to the Church that Jesus Christ founded for their salvation.
You might say that, Catholics belong to the Church that Jesus Christ founded for our salvation. He founded only one church "My Church" and put St. Peter and his successor over it as Vicars to guide it (Matthew 16:17-19). He sent the Holy Spirit to guide it always and guaranteed it until the end of the world. Protestants are descendants of the heretics who rejected Christ's Church in the sixteenth century and founded their own religious communities. They have no guarantees. That being said, most protestants are Christians as they are validly baptized and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation, and thus should be treated as our brothers, howbeit in error, they are only formal heretics, not material heretics, as they are just the recipients of their father's apostasy.
