Protestant churches
Non-Catholic Christian congregations
Protestant churches are Christian denominations that emerged from the 16th-century Reformation, breaking from Roman Catholic authority.
The category includes Lutherans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Anglicans, Pentecostals, and thousands of independent congregations.
What unites them is rejection of papal authority and emphasis on scripture and individual faith, though they vary enormously in doctrine and practice.
