They can't accept it because they have never studied the history of Christianity.
Most don't even know that the Bible was compiled in the third century by Catholics at The Council of Rome and that this is the basis of their Bible.
Many don't know that the Protestant Bible is exactly that Bible -- except for the parts that Martin Luther decided didn't belong.
Many don't even understand the the King James Bible is not a particularly good translation -- and contains lots of 17th century literary constructs. This is the source of many of the differences of beliefs between Protestants and Catholics. Many Protestants believe, for example, that Jesus had brothers because the KJV says he does -- even though the original Greek refers to them as close relatives.
Telling them does no good, because they have blind faith.

That may be true, but it's nothing to brag about. Catholicism developed long after Jesus rose, and it is simply a merging of the politics of the Roman Empire and the apostate teachings of the leaders in that empire. The distorted "christianity" of the Roman Empire and it's corrupt rulers is where the Catholic church developed. Belonging to a false religion that inspired other false religions is not a great accomplishment.

I am non-denominational, but I suppose that makes me a Protestant as well. I do acknowledge that Roman Catholicism was the original organized Christian church that the other Christian sects sprang from. I think, however, that the word "inspired" is incorrect. Perhaps "inspired certain Christians to think for themselves and deviate from the norm (i.e. Catholicism)" would be better.

Well, I think your question is a bit of an overgeneralization. There are many protestant demoninations and a great variety of insightfulness within each (within any group of people, for that matter).
As a protestant, I can assure you that I understand how Christianity has branched over the centuries. The Roman Catholic Church is one of the primary branches. Anyone who has studied church history has to see that.

Well because protestants are used to the ideas and morals by their parents, most likeley protestants, and that the catholic church is the true church, and they dont agree with things, so they run off and start their little group, while some other people dont agree and they start their own, that is how protestants work, but in the end the catholic church is the one true church.

They were given all their Bible ( even besides the undeniable fact that they decrease 7 books out) from the Catholic Church it really is in person-friendly words a incontrovertible reality that the historic Catholic /Orthodox Church compiled,canonized and preserved the recent Tstament and surpassed down the Bible in a great number of translations lengthy earlier any Protestants ever confirmed upin the sixteenth century

Because there has been only one person born of woman that was
born sinless. Jesus Christ was his name.>Because all born-again
people are part of a Royal Priesthood and does not need someone
else to talk to God for them.Born-Again people can go to God through
Jesus with no other mediator.> There is just to many teachings that RCC teach that is dead wrong. You can believe what you want to I
will just keep on trusting Jesus Blood and Bodily Resurrection to get me there.Heb 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

The decadence and corruption of the Catholic Church inspired the protestants to break away so I'll give you that.

Religion is the biggest war that's ever been fought. The only damn reason there's other religions is because someone didn't agree. How does war start? Someone not agreeing. That's why no one can accept whatever religion for whatever purposes, even if you're all worshipping the same "God".

No you didn't
The catholic church is responsible for borrowing all the pagan practices.
The protestant churches have tried (but failed) to rid themselves of all the god dishonoring traditions of you apostates.
Personally, I think the trinity lie is the worst case of blasphemy ever perpetrated.
