Can this be interpreted in a protestant way? Yes, I'm sure it can. I think such interpretations are deeply flawed. However we won't solve this by picking out a single quote from St. Paul. And I'm not interested in citing down and pitting line against line, that's never fruitful and never leads to anything good.
