Raphael the Angel

[BrooklynBoy200]

Is the angel Raphael only believed in by Catholics? I started out with a protestant bible when i was younger, and i just recently (about a year ago or so) got a Catholic one (my aunt is protestant, and she gave me the bible, thats why i had it even though i’m catholic). At the time i didn’t no there was such a thing as a catholic bible and a protestant bible.But in the protestant bible, there was no mention of the angel Raphael that i could see. Did i just miss something, or do protestants reject his existence or something?

Raphael is only mentioned in the Book of Tobit, which is a part of the Deuterocanonical books (call the Apocrypha by those who do not accept them as biblical). Liturgical Protestants do accept him as an archangel, but I’m not sure if non-liturgical Protestants do or not.
