How are Catholics to View Protestant Marriages?

Question:

How are Catholics to view Protestant marriages?

Answer:

Generally speaking, Protestants have two valid sacraments, baptism and marriage, although they usually do not consider marriage to be a sacrament. Assuming the husband and wife are both validly baptized and that there are no impediments to the marriage, the Church presumes Protestant marriages to be both valid and sacramental.
