That is because the high church wing of the Anglican communion lays spurious claims to catholicity which are rejected by the low church wing of the same denomination

The original difference is that the pope and his managers will be part of the end time anti Christ.
The SDA teaches the separation of the remanent church. Keeping the 7 day Sabbath . among other issues.
To days Protestant Christians are not taught the separation why’s and reasons. But they are taught to be led and baptised in the holy spirit. And reject the communion of saints as a form of necromancy.

You’re making a presumption that you cannot prove. You do not know this, cannot know this
They’re welcome to teach what they want.
Speak for yourself. The Communion of Saints is part of the universal Church.
Further, you are misusing the term necromancy. Requests for intercession of the Saints in Heaven is not necromancy.

This article is quite simplory and doesn’t deep in many faith subjects like what is grace, salvation etc.
However in my country I saw the protestantism more like a ideology than a doctrine.
I saw many protestants with robotics behaviour, always call someone of “brother”, when are organized in their cults they call themself “church”, listen their annoying musics and gests worst when they sang because they are “adoring God”, thing the actual Israel state is protected by God and like to police everyone to do the things correctly, for me is not different from another ideology group.

The difference between Catholicism and the SDA is that the SDA along with their offshoots were established in the mid 1800’s by individuals that were inaccurate in their predictions of the return of Christ and a woman that had visions.
Some SDA off shoots such as the Church of GOD (Seventh Day) have attempted to distance themselves from the original founders but maintain some views. They are Anti-Catholic and won’t hesitate to criticize the Catholic Church yet the SDA and their off shoots were established by inaccuracies and a particular woman’s visions.

Is the belief that the Pope and his managers are part of the end time Anti Christ another prediction among some Protestant denominations such as the SDA including their off shoots and/ or a ploy to poach new followers?

Ah - you might want to tell that to Protestant theologians and see what you get for an answer.

Like which one? A Calvinist? A mainline Lutheran or Anglo-Catholic? (they might deny being Protestant)? A Oneness Pentecostal? A Jehovah’s Witness? (do they deny it too?)Anesti33:

That’s why there’s no such thing as “Protestant Doctrine” because it’s extremely plural.

Some, indeed.
Original Protestant doctrine is found in the Augsburg Confession, since it was Lutherans who made the formal protest (Hence the name Protestant) at the 2nd Diet at Speyer In 1529.Anesti33:
Ah - you might want to tell that to Protestant theologians and see what you get for an answer.
Therefore, Protestant doctrine teaches the real presence, infant baptism, baptismal regeneration, private confession, ordination.
I forgot to add:
Regarding practice and doctrine, use of the term Protestant is folly.

The OP article does reveal at least the minimum differences between Catholic Doctrine and I would remove Protestant and insert Non-Catholic Christian faith, when the article is placed in a setting such as the present medium.
3.That Oneness in the body of Christ founded by Jesus Christ Himself, remains One in the unchanged Eucharistic assembly in God’s Presence.
- All Non-Catholic Christian faith’s do not have divine revelation handed down to them (especially to their founders) because they broke away from communion with the Catholic faith and the original Apostolic Succession, therefore these Non-Catholic Christian faith’s lack valid sacraments.
3.That Oneness in the body of Christ founded by Jesus Christ Himself, remains One in the unchanged Eucharistic assembly in God’s Presence.
- Although this post reveals differences, this post does not question, deny or promote the Non-Catholic Christians faith in Jesus Christ.

That generalization is not very precise either, as groups like the Old Catholics, PNCC, or perhaps even some Anglican breakaway groups do posess valid Sacraments from a Catholic perspective.
Also the Eastern Orthodox are non-Catholic, but retain the apostolic faith. (Again, from a Catholic perspective)
I feel like the article aimed for a simple friendly comparison of beliefs, and it did so in a respectful way. It cannot be perfect in every way, but I think it is quite good as a general description of the differences for your common American Protestant and Catholic.

Go look at the headline of the thread - they did not use an “s” - there is Protestant doctrine, and no one, including me, said it was unanimous in approach.
Anyone who has done even minimal study of the differences between Protestants and Catholics would know that the Protestants have permutations of any given doctrine, so let’s not play word games, okay?
Pick a doctrine - let’s say the Eucharist - and you may find that there is anywhere from minor differentiation to major differentiation to massive differentiation; but it is still doctrine about the Eucharist… You may choose to say that each permutation is a different doctrine. I would not, as it is about the same subject matter, with variations within it.
Perhaps we can get to substance rather than picking nits.
Please identify an example of a Protestant doctrine and where it is stated. Doctrines are usually stated, as in the Augsburg Confession.
Which doctrine, however, is “Protestant”? Even the term is not a religious one.
The Protestant doctrine of the Eucharist?
I don’t think it is nit picking.
I think it makes the mistake of trying to treat Protestant as a monolith. It is not, and never has been, even in the Reformation era.

Of course you are right in that. However, the few other errors (like Luther’s “consubstantiation”) are quite minor, and it sets the correct tone of “we’re not that far away from each other, while the differences are real and profound”. Many many people who aren’t into theology often don’t understand this very well. I think it works ok as an introductory generalization for your common Christian in the pew who just realized there are different Christians outside of his little town.
I actually consider that a profound error, as would virtually all Lutheran theologians through history.
I understand. I just think it leaves people with misunderstandings.
