> various Protestant sects and reformers promoted and carried out public burnings of heretics, witches, and dissenters during the Reformation era and beyond, often through state alliances mirroring Catholic practices. Leaders like John Calvin and English Protestants under figures such as Thomas Cranmer endorsed executions by fire for offenses like anti-Trinitarianism or Anabaptism.
