Answer 1:

Protestants were once a part of the Catholic church and "protested" the wickedness that was present in it. They "protested" and came out of the Catholic church.

Baptist were never part of the Catholic church and since they were never a part of it in the first place did not "protest" it and come out. Baptist trace their lineage to the baptism of Jesus Christ by John the "Baptist".

Answer 2:Some Baptists agree completely with the above statement. Others would disagree, recognising that that Baptists are, in fact, Protestants.

Many Baptists trace the lineage of their church to the work of John the Baptist, but this is not correct. In fact, there was no specific church at that time (before Christ's death) except for the Jewish faith. Christ granted Peter the commission that "on this rock I will build my church", but notice his use of the word "church". In fact, the first churches were entirely non-denominational, preaching, teaching and baptising, as Christ said to do, and as all Christian churches continue to do today.

From this movement arose the Roman Catholic church which, unfortunately, required so much by way of "law" from its people that the true meaning of the Gospel was lost. This did not change until Martin Luther's obvious and very public objections. Baptists came out of the same protestant movement sparked by Martin Luther, which came out of Luther's objections to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
