Protestantism is one of the four major divisions within Christianity, together with the Eastern Orthodox Church, Catholic Church, and the Anglican Church traditions. The term 'Protestant' is most closely tied to those groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century's Protestant Reformation when in 1517 Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences to the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany.The doctrines of the various Protestant denominations vary, but nearly unanimous doctrines include justification by grace through faith and not through works, the priesthood of all believers, and the Bible as the ultimate authority in matters of faith and order. In the early 21st century there were nearly 350 million Protestants in the world.[1]The followers of Luther established the evangelical churches of Germany and Scandinavia. Reformed churches in Switzerland were established by John Calvin and more radical reformers such as Huldrych Zwingli, while John Knox established an influential Presbyterian communion as the national church in Scotland.

新教是基督教中区别于天主教和东正教的一个教派，英文是Protestant。在美国是人数最多的宗教，在德国、英国等欧洲国家也是这样，但是在法国、意大利、西班牙等则是天主教人数多，在希腊和一些东欧国家和俄罗斯，东正教多。在中国的新教的发展过程中，美国的传教士起过重要的作用，但是任何宗教到了中国总会带有中国色彩。我在美国，发现一些华人教会，特别是台湾人为主的新教组织，宣讲的东西和美国主流的新教非常不一样。所以我认为不能说是一回事。新教和天主教的不一样，没有那么严格的国际统一的教会系统和组织。希望这个能帮助你。
