Yes. I did. They idea that Squanto “coverted” to Catholicism is a myth.

It is only Catholic accounts that ascribe conversion to Catholicism to Squanto.

Exactly “ROTFLMAO”.

Didn’t you know that the Mayflower was loaded to the brim with RCs? LOL!

Or maybe that year between landing in Plymouth and the First Thanksgiving they all converted to RC. (They were so anti-RC they many objected to Christmas celebrations because it’s Christ”MASS”. They despised the Pope.)

Nice try, but those wacko nut groups you list are not Protestants.   Protestants are defined as Christian believers who split from the Roman Catholic Church.   That is why they are called Protestant.

Protestant — a member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from the Roman Catholic Church and follow the principles of the Reformation, including the Baptist, Presbyterian, and Lutheran churches.
