Regarding the non-profit European Catholic Church, why are there no Protestants in heaven?
One can look at the European Pope's saint list (officially approved list of saints in heaven including St.Valentine) and the only members are unmarried Catholic single women and unmarried Catholic single men.
Is that really what Jesus Christ of the Bible taught? St. Peter, according to the Bible, was a married man (married to a woman, not a man).
How can the non-profit European Catholic Church discriminate on the basis of race...oops...marital status, religion, and so on?
Doesn't the foreign Pope know what western democracies and human rights are?

I don't believe everything The Pope says. He is not infallible.
I believe there ARE Protestants in heaven.

This question is totally unanswerable no matter what your belief or unbelief. Who has been to heaven to take attendance and if that was possible how would you know the difference between the saints that were there...a survey?

There are no souls/bodies in Heaven.We all have to be judged first.And that won't happen until Christ comes again to judge the living and the dead. (The Second Coming )
EDIT....How did you come to the conclusion that there are no Protestants in Heaven ,or anybody else,for that matter ? Do you have proof ?

The Pope, nor any other human, can say who is in heaven. It isn't their right to make that choice.
Christ Jesus is the only one who can determine who will enter Heaven, by their faith in Christ Jesus is one saved.

If I may... Your facts are not correctly put together! Saint Peter abandoned his family life to follow Jesus!!!
Matthew 10:34-37 niv
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
your enemies will be the members of your own household.' "Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves a son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Luke 14:26 (NIV) Jesus Christ said, "If anyone comes to me and does not HATE* (*Greek=miseo=to abhor!) his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple."
Mark 10:28-30 (NIV) PETER said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age [RIGHT NOW!!!] (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields--and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.
There is much more that can be added, but I hate to get another violation notice...
Saint Peter did abandon his own WIFE!!! He couldn't get rid of his mother in law... I only guess...

Unless he has gone to heaven and did a roll call of who is there then what he has said is just that and nothing more.

Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Muslims....they're all there. Judgment is a very one-on-one experience; there are no group rates.
"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
"Each one of us must give account of ourselves to God."
