please improve the answer i need to know this now!!!

The protestants were objecting to practices in the Roman Catholic Church that they considered immoral and not according to Scripture. The usual example is the selling of indulgences. An indulgence shortens the time a soul must spend in Purgatory before entering Heaven, and were sold to finance building needs in the Roman Catholic church. The advertising (?) slogan attributed to the sellers was "When the coin in the coffer rings, the sould from Purgatory springs".

They believe that the bread and wine used in communion represent the body and blood of Christ, rather than actually becoming them.

Do protestans believe in Jesus?

Of course!! The vast majority of Protestants accept the same Christian beliefs as laid down in the Creeds as Catholics believe. The only difference is that Protestants, on the whole, reject certain beliefs of the Catholic Church (such as purgatory, over adulation of the Virgin Mary, praying to saints, the adulation of relics, infallibility of the pope and so on) and regard them as unbiblical and an invention of humans rather than revealed by God, and they also reject papal authority in favour of the authority of scripture.
