Protestants are Christians. You don't think so?
There are some churches that are not considered Christian by mainstream Christianity despite what they might claim to be. The LDS church and the JW's are some of the examples. I.e. the baptism carried out in these communities are not valid. That is to say if you were a mormon and then you became an anglican, you will need to be baptised. However, if you were a Baptist and you became a catholic later on, your baptism is valid.
Having Jesus Christ featured prominently in one's church doesn't mean it is Christian. The LDS view of Jesus is completely different from the 'mainstream' Christian view.

in the end they are still considered as Christians. just becoz 1 mazhab has too many differences in comparison with another mazhab doesnt mean that said mazhab is not part of christianity.
just like how orthodox christian is still considered as christian.
