Methodism started in the UK in the 18th century; well after the Reformation, but it is still counted as Protestant, because it arose out of Protestantism. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methodism.) There are still Methodist churches around here, as well as, of course, Presbyterian churches - they didn't all join together.
I had naively thought that all religions that weren't Roman Catholic or Orthodox were Protestant, including all the ones you mention, but obviously it isn't that simple.
There are so many religions - and this is all within the general framework of Christianity.
