        Yes, technically. But when talking about how terms are used, protestants are the more progressive denominations while evangelicals are singled out as their own thing. This gets clearer when using the german terms: protestant is protestantisch that is used interchangible with evangelisch, but evangelical is it’s own thing as evangelikal.

        Evsngelicals are not part of what is generally known as the more progressive protestant tradition, although it is a protestant denomination.

        Catholicism and Lutheranism are both Christian religions. It doesn’t make them equivalent.

        Evangelical religions are more fundamentalist with belief in things like talking with tongues and absolutes of good and evil.

          US-Evangelical. Even evangelical dominations can vary a ton. It’s just a term for trying to expand/spread the faith. In the netherlands evangelical churches are often the most progressive.

            No, it’s also evangelicals in Germany. They’re called “Evangelikale” in german, while the general term that includes evangelicals as well as (the generally more progressive) lutherans/protestants is “evangelisch”.

          I just said that Protestantism includes both Lutheran and Evangelical. Speaking of Protestants when meaning Lutherans is not clear if other groups are also present:

          lutheranism

          That’s usually referred to as protestantism, not evangelicalism.

        Members of evangelical churches, a branch of Protestantism, are increasing.

         mirrors the rise of evangelical Christianity across France, where Protestantism has traditionally been dominated by older currents rooted in the Lutheran Reformation.

        Sébastien Fath, a historian and sociologist of religions at France’s National Center for Scientific Research and a recognized expert on the subject, said that today, “at least 58% of Protestants are evangelicals, a figure that may even be underestimated.” According to him, there are currently between 1.1 million and 1.2 million evangelicals in France, spread across some 3,000 places of worship nationwide – including in medium-sized towns where they were previously absent.
