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.

The Assyrian Church of the East is not in full communion with the Holy See and the Catholic Church, so the Assyrian Church of the East is not Catholic at all to begin with. However, some parishes that were once under the Assyrian Church of the East have since come into communion with the Chaldean Catholic Church and some of these Chaldean Catholic parishes kept Assyrian in their name, but they are still Chaldean Catholics. Chaldean Catholics are of the Chaldean Rite, which is an Eastern Rite in the Catholic Church, so they, Chaldean Catholics, are also Eastern Catholics. The only Assyrian Catholics are those Catholics that are of the Assyrian ethnic group.
