Exactly what it says on the tin.

Say one way or another, the Byzantine Empire manages to survive and thrive (maybe the Turks get routed at Manzikert, or one Turkish dynasty (ie Ottomans) convert, take over Constantinople, and expand, or something). How does the consequences of a surviving Empire have on the Protestant Reformation (assuming one does arise) and given that both the Byzantines and HRE continued to claim the legacy of the Roman Empire, could the Orthodox Byzantines support the Protestant powers as a way to get back at the Catholic Hapsburg emperors?
