First, Protestants don't even believe that. When the Word says "you are not saved by faith alone" (James 2, I slightly paraphrase) or "This is my body" (Luke 22), you don't believe that. Catholics don't believe the Word themselves.
When the Word says "you are saved by grace through faith " (Ephesians 2, slight paraphrase) or *Abstain from blood* (Acts 15), *by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified* (Romans 3) they don't believe that.

[Catholics] don't believe that.
The prohibition on eating blood is given in Acts 15 by the Church, and it has since been rescinded by the same Church. It is a disciplinary matter, and like all Church disciplines the Church has the authority of "binding and loosing" to change that. The rest we do believe, of course. What makes you think we don't?
