      Could be why the protestants protested then. It's definitely not part of most protestant doctrines, and your article talks about that. > In the Protestant system, however, remission of sin is no real forgiveness, no blotting out of guilt. Sin is merely cloaked and concealed by the imputed merits of Christ; The overwhelming majority of religous Americans are protestants.
