The doctrines of the Reformation can be summarized as a) the rejection of papal authority, b) rejection of some fundamental Roman Catholic doctrines, c) the priesthood of all believers, d) the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth, and e) the belief in justification by faith alone.
Individual judgment has always been a constituent element of the Protestant tradition, hence the thousands of denominations and 'non-denominational' sects. All with different interpretations.

Sweetie; the 'protestant doctrines' will probably vary per group presently. Be aware, speaking personnally at present, there are deviations to God's word even in the 'Catholic' faith. (I went thru most of RCIA a few years ago at a local RCC). They kept me away from RCC for decades.

The reformers based their teaching on the "five solas". Sola is Latin for alone and they five "alones" are We believe by scripture alone, we are saved by grace alone. through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. That is the basis of Protestant doctrine.

I don't think the Protestants can name one let alone understand them
