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/
