Good Question… How do you define Protestant?

If you define all Churches that are not under the direct authority of the Pope as Protestant, then you will find many (over 20) different denominations that fit your description.

Since most denominations that fit your qualifications call themselves catholic (not Roman), they refer to there denominations as not Protestant… Example: The Eastern Orthodox Churches would fall into the catholic, but not Roman category… The Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil would be another… Many, but not all, of the Anglicans consider themselves “not Protestant”
 
I can’t really answer your question, but as an observation, don’t ALL christian sects baptize their infants/teens whatever? Maybe I’m wrong.

No Baptist, Pentecostals, Non Doms do not baptize babies. I don’t know about most others.
 
No, the wide majority of denominations do not baptize infants. You get baptized when you get “saved”.

Not really, no.

Anglicans, Methodists, Lutherans, Reformed, and Orthodox all baptize infants. This would make up the vast majority of non-Roman Catholic churches. The actual percentage, worldwide, of Baptists, and others who only baptize adults would probably amount to less than 15% of Protestant churches.

Beat me to it. 😃
 
Belief in the ‘Real Presence’ isn’t a distinctly Catholic belief - numerous denominations share it.

Belief in transubstantiation as opposed to consubstantiation or some other variation of belief in the ‘Real Presence’, however, IS truly Catholic, and no other Church shares it. The Orthodox come closest, but they’ve never officially defined what happens during consecration.

So the answer is none.
