So you mean nobody, no one at all, can do any good thing according to Protestant teaching? How sad. It's like saying God never gave us free will.

It's true, God is in control of everything but He does not force anyone to do anything. He also allows good things to happen thru us humans. We are His creation and instruments on Earth, right? So it follows that because of Him we can do good things/works when we open ourselves to Him. What I got from what you said is Protestants don't even want to give any kind of credit to humans which is sad but hey as I mentioned God will show us the truth when we ask Him for it. 😁 A daily prayer life and some fasting too is the best way to go about it. 😉

Protestant teachings is an offshoot of the schism from Catholicism which is why there are many things we have different due to the personal interpretation of the founders and different pastors of each denomination and such. Meanwhile Catholics only adhere to the early church traditions and teachings plus the writings of the saints, etc. That's the big difference right there. You might wanna look into Scott Hahn's book Rome Sweet Home on what's the deal. 😁
