Protestants were invited to the Council of Trent as a way of seeing if there was any hope left of bringing them back into the fold. But they all declined to engage in any sort of dialogue and did not attend.

The difference with V2 was that an element of progressive/socialist bishops expressly invited Protestants to help change the Church via the wrecking ball.
