I agree that infighting is not the answer, but in order to stop the infighting and mend the schism, you have to convince the Orthodox and Catholics that jews and all other non-Whites cannot and have never been Christian. That's going to require a lot of emotional arguments that they won't listen to reason, facts, logic and evidence with. Modern Orthodoxy and Catholicism do not allow for antisemitism, thus aren't Christian, so everyone here who is antisemitic is a Protestant by definition. The sooner they realize it, the sooner we can reunite all Christianity under one Church again.

I just think “protestant” might be the wrong word to even use. It’s inherently “schismatic” and brings to mind the “mere differences in opinion” that endless denominations imply.
Why not say, “I was raised protestant, but now I am Christian.” That sentence structure causes people to take notice and question their presumptions, and from there you can explain what Christianity *really* is. Thus people can also say, “I was raised orthodox, but now I am Christian.” and “I was raised catholic, but now I am Christian.”
I've tried this in the past with some people, and it usually ends up with them saying "okay, Protestant. Protestants aren't Christian. Submit to the Catholic/Orthodox Church or you're a jew." Which is why I think it's so important to provide the definitions of what we're speaking about; the jews have created infinity meanings that everyone disagrees on so we never come to a solid discussion on what's right or wrong. "Trad Caths/Orthobros" still see "Protestantism" as "lolbluehairedisarelsupporters with gay clergy" when in reality the "6+ million denominations" of Protestantism enables the "Trad Caths/Orthobros" to exist as they are one without realizing it. If old Christianity is about bowing to an authority under the belief of that authority will never be jewed, and the current popular/known authority did get jewed, then that means the actual un-jewable authority is being fulfilled not inside the popular/known Catholic/Orthodox Church, thus Protestantism.

I like that phrasing.
