Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Ants as aologist and speaker, Trent Horn.

And today I want to talk about one of the largest, if not the largest, Protestant

denomination out there.

And if you think about it, if you look at especially American Protestantism, there is a wide

variety within it.

I mean, the term Protestant is really just a way of saying that you are a Christian,

but you're not Catholic, then you're not Eastern Orthodox.

So it really is more of a term that describes what you are not rather than what you are.

Sometimes it gets a little bit more specific when someone describes themselves as an evangelical,

for example.

But otherwise, if someone says that they're Protestant, I don't really know a lot about

what they believe.

And I'm sure they believe in at least some form the basic tenets of the Protestant

Reformation, Solar Scriptura, Justification by Faith Alone.

But I've met a fair number of Protestants who are skeptical of Solar Scriptura and want

to have more of sacred tradition guiding their faith.

I've met Protestants who are skeptical of the early Reformation formulations of Justification

by Faith Alone.

There was a book written by a Protestant author I was perusing recently called Salvation

by Allegiance Alone.
