We all have certain words/ideas that we define strictly and certain words/ideas that we allow to be defined more loosely.
Even in our secular age, I think of the Germans/Northern Europeans etc I know (even if German-American) as Protestant (as I've said) because of a certain way they all carry themselves and the essential differences I perceive between them as a Catholic with Southern European roots (and friends). It's in the blood, is probably the best way to explain it.
But this is entirely subjective, so I understand if it doesn't suit others.
