Many people assume that Protestants are called Protestant simply because they are somehow protesting against the Catholic Church. That's almost historically correct, but not completely.
In 1529, The Diet of Speyer reaffirmed an earlier decision of the Diet of Worms in 1521. Both decisions banned Martin Luther's 95 Theses within the Holy Roman Empire. In 152T9, the Lutheran Princes within the Empire wrote a public Letter of Protest against this decision, and this group of Lutheran Princes became known as Protestants.
In time, the term Protestant was extended from the protesting Princes to include the religious reformers, such as Luther, Calvin and Zwingli.
Still later, the term Protestant came to include anyone who believes in Jesus Christ, but who does not worship within the Roman Catholic Church, or within the Eastern Orthodox Churches.

Why is Jehovah Witness and Mormonism not considered part of Christianity?
Many Protestant Christian groups deny the fact that Jehovah's Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are Christian because these two groups do not adhere to the common Christian creeds, such as the Nicene Creed and the Apostle's Creed. While Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons still believe in Jesus Christ and the Bible, they are not Protestant or Catholic, causing some to say they are not Christian.

Restorationists believe that they are a continuation of the true first-century Christian Church.
