Heresies. Each and every one. The only Christian schisms are the Anglican Catholics (as opposed to the Anglican Communion which evolved from schism into heresy), the Roman Catholics, the Eastern Orthodox, and the Oriental Orthodox - perhaps, very tepidly, the Old (Utrecht) Catholics as well but I reserve the right for reconsideration of this as I increase my knowledge of their theological foundation. Each of the Protestants denominations, except for the Anglican Catholics (which seceded from the Roman Catholic Church due to political rivalries rather than dogmatic innovations (although the Church, later, ratified certain Protestant doctrinal innovations which were, even later still, repudiated or otherwise disregarded in order to bring the Church more in line with orthodox Christian doctrine), is heretical.
Protestantism is it's own religious approach to Abrahamaic faith. Completely valid and legitimate in its own way - absolutely beautiful in its own way, as well.
