#1. How many protestant churches are in the USA.
#2 How many full-time protestant pastors are in the USA.
#3 How many non Catholic, Christian church are in the USA-including protestant.
If you could provide info....or send me a link, i'd appreciate it so very much!!

I gathered the stats about the Catholic churches already. There are 18,500 parishes, and 41,000 priests.

For most places it is fairly simple to look up an individual country, state or province in the Location Index. There the user will usually find between 15 to 100 adherent statistics, which provide a good idea of what the major religions are for that place.
But the United States has a greater number of religious groups than any other country in the world, and Adherents.com has literally thousands of adherent statistics for the U.S. This page provides some summary lists of the largest religious groups in the United States. Most of the tables on this page are based on self-identification data (which religious groups people actually say they belong to when surveyed), but some lists based on organizational reporting (membership figures from individual denominations) are shown as well:

I agree with the comments that there are too many denominations in USA presently. I wonder when they will realize that many of them would vanish if one applied the '2 or more witnesses' principle (Matt.18:16, 2 Cor.13:1) along with 2 Tim. 3:16-17.

There is only one church in the USA. It is the spiritual body of Christ composed of all born again believers in Jesus.
1 Peter 2:4-5 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
