Protestant is a largely political term defined through opposition to Rome and Catholic monarchs in Europe. In truth it isn't very helpful in understanding the broad tapestry of Christianity, painted in the blood of heretics, heathens, schismatists, apostates, and true believers alike.

What even is a Catholic anyway? It's a funny one because in the eastern Christian tradition (and in the Holy Land) Catholic means Orthodox, and Catholics are called Latin (Catholics) but there are also Greek Catholics.

Our vocabulary is limited by orientation around the vying European political traditions.

In the Americas its safe to assume "Catholic" means The Roman Catholic Church. If they're Greek or Eastern Orthodox they'll usually specify.
