It's impossible to answer this question completely as there is no one form of protestant baptism: there are hundreds of different forms, depending on denomination.

Some protestant denominations, for example Anglicanism/Episcopalianism and Lutheranism, practice infant baptism using formulas that are very similar to those used in the Catholic Church, but still not identical.

To summarise: Catholic baptisms are conducted (usually, but not necessarily) on infants, using holy water and oil, by an ordained priest, with godparents, according to set Catholic liturgical formulas. Protestant baptisms are not.
