A '''Protestant''' is a [[Christian]] that does not recognize the authority of the [[Catholic]] [[Church]] and instead follows the doctrines of the Protestant [[Reformation]]. The break between Protestants and Catholics is referred to as the [[Great Schism]].

One of the defining characteristics of a Protestant is they believe that the [[Bible]] alone is all that is needed to have a relationship to [[Christ]] and [[God]], and only though a personal relationship with Christ would ensure a soul's salvation. This stripped down version of Christianity made the rituals and policies established by the Catholic Church unnecessary, a distraction, and a temptation into corruption and greed in the eyes of the Protestants.

As a sidenote, in [[period]], Protestants considered Catholics heretics and vice versa.
