No, Elizabeth I was not a Protestant. Anglican's are not protestant but class themselves as English Catholics part of the universal church, this does not mean they view themselves as in communion with Rome nothing could be further from the truth, but they share more beliefs with the Catholic and Orthodox churches than they do with Protestantism. The Church of England was established to permit the divorce of Henry VIII and Catherine de Aragon and not to establish a protestant church. Elizabeth was more tolerant of different religions than either of her siblings. At that time the protestant churches were Lutheranism and Calvinism who sought originally to reform the corrupted Roman Church (do not think of the catholic church as what you see today, the pope was not a spiritual man, he was effectively a warlord and had been selling offices to the church, selling indulgences, in fact i could continue for hours) the church of England however had no intention of reforming the church and had the Pope granted the innulment of Henry VIII Anglican's would probably still be catholics today.
