If NO Protestants believe that Matthew 25:31-46 is a parable, then why does “Parable of sheep and goats” yield so many search results?

Additionally, if NO Protestants believe that Matthew 25:31-46 is a parable then why are faith AND works dismissed?
Works in your view is part of getting and being saved. Every parable has truth in it. There are many religious people who think that they are saved and that is where Christ separates them out. A parable is a teaching tool to say that a parable is a fairytale story that only protestants believe is wrong. I could do a search and come up with many beliefs that are misrepresented and wrong and stated as fact that is why wikipedia is not allowed on FR.
