Yes, but on the flip side many Catholics don’t consider us Protestants saved.

I think that's an oversimplification. I'd say, from my personal understanding, that given the sanctifying grace available in the Sacraments, its potentially easier for Catholics to enter eternal life than for Protestants. But the Catholic Church doesn't deny that Protestants do go to Heaven.

Many Protestants believe the Saints wait to be called up at some point in the future ~ and that so far no one has actually "gone to Heaven".

There is considerable dispute over the doctrine of "saints" of course.

Some non-Christian religions that also derive from Messianic appearances think their "saints" become gods.
