- 1新教、基督新教（台灣常直接叫「基督教」，與天主教相對）
Protestantism is the name for that whole family of Christian faith and churches — the beliefs, the history, and the groups together — not for one person. A person is a Protestant; what they belong to is Protestantism. There is no single Protestant pope and no single Protestant rulebook; many different churches share the roof. You meet the word in history, in religion class, and in serious news about churches. The short line that calls this “a member” is naming the person, which is the other word. Though actually, people sometimes say Protestantism when they only mean not Catholic, which is a rough shortcut: the real story is a bundle of churches, not one neat opposite.
組成Protestant + -ism, the ending for a system of belief.
同家族的字
- Protestanta member of these churches; Protestantism is the -ism, the system
