No. "Pagans" are people who believe in the old, polytheistic and pantheistic religions of the world. Trinitarians are Christians, and Christianity is one of the newer and monotheistic religions. Pagan is not used to describe those of the monotheistic religions which are newer. To say a Christian is Pagan is like saying that Baseball is Football, and then saying "well they both are games involving a ball so they are the same." One or two similar elements are nothing more than that; they do not cause two things to be equal. Another example, it's like saying that humans are cats because we have two eyes and two ears, and so do cats. See the illogic?
It's sad that you felt compelled to ask such a question.

i'm Catholic and that i can assert that no longer *all* Protestants verify with Catholics as pagans. that's often human beings from Bible church homes or church homes which do no longer have confidence in following traditions which throw the be conscious pagan around. Christmas and Easter do have some factors of paganism, a minimum of partly of the secular factors of the trip. in fact, all a Christian could desire to do to have fun those trip journeys is bypass to church. something is greater-- there's no longer something that asserts with the intention to be a Christian, you're able to post a tree on Christmas and take their little ones to be certain Santa. that's secular. comparable factor with Easter. Many Protestants see Catholicism as pagan because of the fact many Catholic church homes have statues, stained glass, etc. Many Protestants are below the fake effect that we "worship" Mary. What human beings don't understand is that praying to Mary is *no longer* the comparable as worshiping her. we don't bypass to church to worship her, yet to worship God. in no way have I ever been to church and has there been even a service the place we've been cautioned to desire to Mary, considering that's no longer what the church amenities are approximately. What it comes right down to is that some Protestants are terrified of custom because of the fact traditions are guy-made, yet for good reason. In till now situations, the place many human beings did no longer count on the written be conscious as we do on the instant, traditions mandatory to be exceeded on someway. the two in prepare or orally. Why training traditions could be a foul factor, i don't understand.

From what I have read about pagans, they pretty much are referring to those who did NOTdescent from Father Abraham.
Trinitarians are Christians who did descend from Abraham, but then so did Moslem's, and Jews. We are all trying to get it all figured out. Why don't we all just respect each others point of view, unless it is destructive to other people.
