So you're supposed to be able to force religion on all the protestants before the war triggers?
if you get ot the reform that forbids internal HRE wars before the religious war triggers, it completly prevents it from happening. and that is possible. I think i revoked privilegia ( the one that makes all of the nations into vassals) roughly at 1525 in my HRE run. Its possible to consistently hit similar timings if you force italy to stay in the HRE and quickly trigger Burgundy inheritance/ force burgundy into the empire.
Also its possible to completly kill of reformation before it even spreads. Tho that needs quite a bit of luck because centers of reformations spawn rdmly.
