There is also the Eastern Orthadox, which split earlier. Protestant usually refers to those Christian churches that split from Rome from Luther and Henry VIII on.
So am I correct in interpreting that as saying that all Christians are either Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox?

I'm still looking for a rigorous definition of the term "Christian" as it is being used in this discussion, i.e., a definition such that, if person "A" matches all parts of the definition, he or she is a "Christian" for purposes of this discussion, whereas if person "B" fails to match any part of the definition, he or she is a "non-Christian".

One could become a member of the Presbyterian church by publicly declaring faith in Jesus.
So one does not need to be baptized or sprinkled in order to become a Presbyterian?
In order to join a Catholic church, a Christian of another denomination needs to go through a fairly long process of study. It was one year for other Christians, and it may be more now.
I am aware of the study requirement. Do you know the answer to my specific question: Does the Catholic church accept Presbyterians without requiring that they be baptized by a Catholic priest in a Catholic ceremony?
