Was he Catholic? Or do protestants even have saints?
no and yes. I think the Christians that do it use the same rules for recognition but don't require the Pope's declaration
I can't imagine most protestant denominations have the organizational and bureaucratic capacity for catholic sanctification. It looks like Anglicans kept the pre split saints and then created a new category of heroes and they seem to do their own thing for it. That's the most similar protestant denomination to catholicism.
It's really hard to imagine a scenario where the baptists are organizing enough to do a trial where evidence for and against sainthood are presented. Also the concept of saints is entirely Tradition so it violates sola scriptura
He was an evangelical christian, and was very much against the previous pope. He called him a marxist, a heretic, etc.
