Prot doctrine changes with the whims of the leadership.
>>An assertion without basis... but then I attend a Christian church and not a prot church
Well let me say non-Catholic church if that suits you better. Happens all the time, pastor decides x is the truth, someone disagrees, starts another church that claims y is the truth, rinse, repeat. 30K+ versions of the truth and counting.
Let me help you understand how this works.
Most Christian churches are part of a larger group that shares core essentials.
They are in fellowship with each other.
When any church goes against those core beliefs, they are removed from the group.
Individual churches: all that I know of require everyone who works at the church to have a background check, including volunteers.
If anyone is credibly accused of sexual abuse of any kind or sexual impropriety, or heresy, they are removed by the elders.
They are treated exactly like the NT says to treat them.

Contrast this with Catholicism.
Priest gay?
No problem. He can stay.
Gays in vatican having sex and using drugs?
No problem. Just keep it out of the newspapers.
Priests sexually abusing minors?
Bishops shuffle them elsewhere.
ALL are still Catholic and the majority are still in ministry.
....
30K+ versions of the truth and counting.
Catholicism has 30 million versions of truth - every man and woman does whatever they want, picking and choosing what to believe. No consequence.
And of course, at least half of those claimed as members left long ago.
