Protestantism

=== Other beliefs ===
Protestants reject the Catholic doctrine of [[papal supremacy]], and have variant views on the number of [[sacrament]]s, the [[Real presence of Christ in the Eucharist|real presence]] of [[Jesus in Christianity|Christ]] in the [[Eucharist]], and matters of [[ecclesiastical polity]] and [[apostolic succession]].<ref name="Haffner1999">{{cite book |last=Haffner |first=Paul |title=The Sacramental Mystery |publisher=Gracewing Publishing |year=1999 |isbn=978-0852444764 |page=11 |quote=The [[Augsburg Confession]] drawn up by Melanchton, one of Luther's disciples admitted only three sacraments, Baptist, the Lord's Supper and Penance. Melanchton left the way open for the other five sacred signs to be considered as "secondary sacraments". However, Zwingli, Calvin and most of the later Reformed tradition accepted only Baptism and the Lord's Supper as sacraments, but in a highly symbolic sense.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Dixon |first=C.
