That's not correct. The Catholic Church accepts Protestants as a Christian 
religion.

See http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12495a.htm

There is a tremendous amount of misunderstanding about the Catholic Church. I'm 
atheist 
(thank goddess!), but I admire the Catholic Church as an institution that has 
had perhaps 
the single greatest effect on Western civilization. It's not possible to 
understand the last 
2,000 years of history, philosophy, science, politics (and yes, wars) without 
appreciating 
the role and significance of the Catholic Church.

There's a good encyclopedia, with articles, at http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/
