To consider the various branches of Christianity to be at all similar, even if historically accurate, is theosophical nonsense.
Never said they are similar, I said they are all clearly the same religion, a hindhu that is a cannibal and woreships kali by killing people, is still operating within the same mythology and tradition as a buddhist who is a vegetarian and holds all Gods to be imperfect.

The distinction between Protestantism and Catholicism is enormous; go and read about the five solae.
Briefly,
Sola scriptura: Scripture alone must govern church traditions and interpretations which are themselves subject to scripture.
Sola fide: Virtue is not a means or requisite for salvation; it is by faith alone that salvation is granted.
Sola gratia: Salvation is an unearned gift.
Soli Deo gloria: All glory is due to God alone; no saint, pope or member of ecclesiastical hierarchy is to worthy of glory.
Solus Christus: The ecclesiastical class is unnecessary for the sacraments.
All of these contradict Catholicism and, perhaps, more importantly, the very concept of a tradition.
To be a Catholic, one must read and understand the bible as a Catholic.
To be a Protestant, one must read the bible.
By consideration of sola scriptura,
If I can define B by A, why can I not define A by B? Such questions cannot be answered by a text alone.
Inevitably, I require some ontology of interpretations so that I can define and understand a text. Without this, all tradition ceases.
To consider the various branches of Christianity to be at all similar, even if historically accurate, is theosophical nonsense.

That is your personal opinion, someone else might not think these differences are enormous and like I said, both groups share mythology and tradition.
