re: Interesting how "Evangelicals" are separating themselves from "Protestants".

Like if an evangelical is a protestant and a protestant amis an evangelical, then why are younger gens defining themselves more as evangelical than protestant?

Is it because of the rise of non denominational?

Wtf is an evangelical catholic lol

typically converts who want to bring remnants of their fifthly protestant faith with them.

lol.

Wiki (barf) actually has a decent entry on it
Didn’t want to link bc a) wiki and b) first party is about Lutheranism. But here it is Wikiwikiwiki

Roman Catholics who in continuity with the long tradition of the Church and empowered by Pope Benedict XVI's proclaimed New Evangelization stress the centrality and salvific universality of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the necessity of proclaiming it, in many ways identifying with the evangelical movement.[citation needed]

As used by the Roman Catholic Church, the term evangelical Catholic refers to Roman Catholics in full communion with the Holy See in Rome and who hold the four characteristics of evangelicalism. The first is a strong theological and devotional emphasis on the Christian scriptures, often holding to a prima scriptura position regarding the Deposit of Faith. Secondly, evangelical Catholics stress justification by faith alone. A personal need for interior conversion is the third defining mark, and, consequently, the fourth is a deep commitment to evangelization.
Evangelical Catholics see these evangelical emphases as the core of the 2,000-year tradition of Catholic Christianity. Evangelical preaching movements such as St. Dominic's, who was called the Vir Evangelicus (evangelical man), are a common point of reference. To Catholics, the term 'evangelical' refers to its etymological root—the Greek word euangelion—which means 'good news' or 'Gospel', not to Protestant Evangelicalism. To Catholics, being evangelical is understood in the context of the adherence to the dogma and Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church and in a Catholic interpretation of Scripture, and not in the doctrinal and ecclesiological upheavals of the Protestant Reformation.
Increasingly, the Roman Catholic Church is appropriating the evangelical witness of the recent popes and their encyclicals, especially Pope Paul VI's Evangelii nuntiandi (On Evangelization in the Modern World), John Paul II's Redemptoris missio (The Mission of the Redeemer), and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's Declaration Dominus Iesus (The Lord Jesus), for which Pope Benedict XVI was primarily responsible, when he was previously Prefect of the Congregation. New bibles[citation needed], catechetical materials, youth ministry programs, and young adult ministries witness to greater evangelical zeal within the Church. College campus ministry and parish ministry are focusing more of their resources on outreach (pre-evangelization and evangelization).[47] A Catholic organization called the Evangelical Catholic exists for the purpose of equipping Catholic ministries to be evangelical.[48] In Greenville, South Carolina, a Catholic organization called the Center for Evangelical Catholicism exists for the purpose of spreading the "New Evangelization" program of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization in Roman Catholic parishes and schools across the United States.
Since the call to evangelization is so integral to the Catholic faith and solidly attested to in the ecumenical councils, the writings of the Church Fathers, and papal teaching, the late well-known Father Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009), (a former longtime Evangelical Lutheran pastor) looked to the day when the term 'evangelical Catholic' would be redundant - when identifying as 'Catholic' would imply active evangelization so strongly that the addition of 'evangelical' would be unnecessary.[49] As a group, they are often not disaggregated in social science research, though there have been recent calls to change this.[50]

Ok so there is the process of evangelism every church does that.

Seeing the stressing of faith alone also just tells me that what the other guy said was correct.

Converts that bring over almost heretical views of whatever protestant sect they came from.

“Mainline Protestants” have run off into the sunset of unbiblical leftist doom. They know and preach far more about queer theory and liberation anti-theology than they do the Scriptures, the Apostles’ Creed, the Westminster Confession, etc.

THIS. A childhood friend of mine went to Princeton Seminary and became a Presbyterian pastor in Nashville. After talking to him for the first time in thirty years, I was shocked at how unbiblical his theology was...it sounded more like something from the New Yorker magazine more than from the Bible.

Christians in name only?

Mormons do not believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ as the means to salvation.

They are what my Classical Greek professor referred to as quasi-Christian, along with 7th Day Adventists, and Jehovahs Witnesses (among others).
