Opening heading[edit]

I will remove people from this category for whom their previous association with Protestantism is not a defining characteristic. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_July_23#People_by_former_religion. Andries 13:53, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Anglicans[edit]

As the Roman Catholic Church, at official levels, no longer refers to Anglicans as being 'Protestants' (and generally makes a distinction between the Anglican tradition and Protestant traditions) editors - especially Roman Catholic ones - should also respect this distinction and not include Anglicans amongst lists of Protestants.
