Neither. Protestants believe that the way one believes in God should be simple, but Catholics believe that everything should be fancy and worthy of God.

Why does god exist to protestants?
I'm do not see that there are major differences on proofs for the existence of God between Roman Catholics and Protestants. Most proofs originated by Catholics are fine with Protestants, and vice versa. If the subject is really whether or not God exists, that is debated rather vigorously in good sized books right now. For a short but sound and readable proof for God, try the first 5 chapters of Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
How does the second commandment affect to vow?
Protestants, Jews and Catholics number the commandments differently. To Protestants and Jews, the second commandment deals mostly with idolatry and has no effect of vows. To Catholics, the second commandment forbids taking God's name in vain, which can be interpreted as forbidding taking a vow in God's name with the intent not to keep it.
What is the different between a roman chatholic and a protestant religion in term of doctrine?
I am a Protestant and in terms of beliefs we are very much the same, the biggest difference is that protestants say the final word is the Bible and no Church leader has more authority than that. Also there are more rituals for Catholics. The last thing that is greatly different is confessions which we (Protestants) believe that you only need to confess to God, where as Catholics must have the Priest as an intercessor between man and God.
What are the two ordinaces of god in the Bible?
The two main ordinances of God in the Bible are baptism and communion. Baptism is a symbolic act of purification and commitment to Christ, while communion is a remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice through the sharing of bread and wine. Both ordinances hold significant spiritual importance for Christian believers.
Do Protestants believe that God the Father and Jesus His Son are one in the same person?
No, most Christians (Protestants are Christians also) believe in one God in Three Persons. God the Father, God the Son, (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. Each Person is God, which makes up the one true God, but each one has a different "job" or ministry to perform.
What is a crazy fact about Catholics?
Catholics do not worship saints, the Blessed Virgin, idols or the pope. They worship only God. Now that is a crazy fact that many Protestants will contest but a fact nonetheless.

Why do Catholics genuflect in church?
Catholics genuflect in Church ONLY if the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the sanctuary. In other words, they are genuflecting to God physically present in the front of their Church. As protestants don't even believe that this is physically possible, despite Our Blessed Lord's repeated assertion in the 6th chapter of St. John's Gospel, then why would they genuflect? You genuflect to God, protestants do not believe that God is in their "churches" so is no need for them to genuflect.
What does the phrase pure protestants and complicated Catholics mean?
This is a phrase from a book about the Churches in revolutionary times, obviously written from a protestant perspective. It says "How many ways can you think of to remember the differences between Catholic and protestant beliefs? Here is a simple memory jogger to help you: "pure protestants and complicated Catholics" which shows that the protestant wanted to make the Church simple and the Catholics wanted to keep all the ornaments and decorations." Which is a gross fallacy, first of all, it assumes that all the things the protestants threw out were not given to us from God, and that they weren't necessary. When it comes to decorations, there are many Catholics that are far more simple in their "decoration and ornaments" than protestants - look at the Carthusians or the Cisterians.
What religion were the Huguenots?
the huguenots were french protestants that believed in god who created heaven and earth which is actually true and they also believed in the bible. But the catholics did not believe in their religion and called them heritics and blasphemerand for that they were persecuted.
What is the main difference between protestant and catholic understandings of the church?
The catholics view of church is that the sacraments and mass are saving events. The belief is that the grace of God is actually contained within the mass, sacraments, confession and what not. Protestants are much more likely to view these things as symbols of what God does in the individual life. Protestants think that grace is given by God and the sacraments are just a reminder of that event.
What is the difference of Catholicism and Protestantism on their doctrines and beliefs?
To be honest with you, im really not sure. But i think the difference is that Catholics believe that the bread and wine literally is the body and blood of Christ, and Protestants don't believe that. They believe it is more of a representation. There are many more differences, but it is the same religion, Christianity. Catholics seem to be more into the virgin Mary and saints, and pray to them, yet protestants and C of E seem to think that only God should be prayed to. People sometimes say that Catholics seem more traditional and strict, yet it depends on the church and person.
