The attack is the same, the stink is the same, the lack of legitimacy is the same
Like Romanists, Protestant churchian types think that the 'church' (their church) is based in so much history and tradition and so forth that one can't possibly question its legitimacy. Well, you question the legitimacy of the Roman Catholic Church, don't you? With good reason too. So why do you think any visible church is sacrosanct? What are you doing in your church, Protestant, that is similar to what Roman Catholics did in their church that made them a synagogue of Satan? Something about the word of God, Protestant? You've worked your own Magisterium in between the word of God and the so-called 'lay people', haven't you, Protestants? In your case it's a priesthood of scholars (overwhelmingly atheist by their own admission at that!). Imagine that. How could things ever have come to that? Imagine that, Protestants. Imagine that. Oh, yes, your churches can be questioned as to their legitimacy. Just as the Roman Catholic Church was questioned as to its legitimacy, and rightfully so. When salvation is at stake, history and tradition be damned. The word of God is at the foundation of salvation, isn't it, Protestants? Isn't it?
The Roman Magisterium said: "We are the standard and authority of what you are to believe."
The Protestant Magisterium says: "There is no standard and authority of what anybody is to believe."
The same result. The attack on the word of God is achieved. The people perish. (Time is bought for the Devil, but that is really all, if that, in the long run.) You even adopted the corrupt Romanist manuscripts to achieve your aim, Protestants. You rejected then mocked the pure and whole Received Text handed down to you, defended by the blood of Christians through the centuries...you rejected and mocked it. What wicked little devils you have been, no? Wicked little filthy devils.
And you want respect for your churches, Protestants? You stink of the Beast as much as the stinking maw of any Roman Catholic church in existence today.
Any regenerate Christian says to you: Get thee behind me, Satan. Get thee behind me, Satan.

If you want to look around, we Reformed have explained what the Church is and how it operates. See Bannerman's "The Church of Christ," of which you can find both volumes on archive.org. You claim Calvin for your side, yet what about Book IV of the Institutes?
Calvin wouldn't walk through the doors of any church today. Synagogue of Satan is synagogue of Satan.
You can't mutilate and corrupt the word of God, say it says what man says it says, say it's full of errors, say it's not perfect as is, but we - credentialed scholars - are working on it, God will just have to wait to have His revealed word available to His creation, etc., etc., then put a big plastic smile on your face and say, "Come in to our church!" No, devils, it doesn't work that way. Christians are called to exercise Spirit-enabled discernment. Where the word of God is corrupted and man puts himself in the place of God, a regenerated Christian will no more be found worshiping there than he'd be found worshiping in a bath house or mosque.
