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.

Where did you get this information?

In any case, it is Catholicism that first distorted the fold, seeing as distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.

Historically, Catholics have been the ones out to destroy Protestantism. The Jesuits were tasked with creating a "Counter-Reformation" at the time of Luther and it still continues to this day. There are many articles about this including many Catholic sources. To say Protestants are out to bring Catholics back is simply to deny history. It is, after all, Catholic dogma that all are lost outside the Catholic Church.
