Actually, I believe I heard that Patrick Henry attended both Baptist and Presbyterian Churches. Both were heavily persecuted because they were not licensed nor supported by the King as the Church of England was the Official church of the state.
Another thing.... It matters which Baptists you want to direct your point at. The Particular Baptists claim their heritage comes from the Reformers. Not the other groups the article claims. Confessional Baptists are Protestant in nature and their Confession addresses Catholicism as the Reformers does. At least that is how I understand it.
Yes there are Baptists who claim they are not protestant because they had nothing to protest against since they didn't come out of Catholicism. What ever.
