The Holy Spirit "works" everywhere. Even wicked people are moved to ends that God wills. So to say protestants don't have real experiences of God, this can't be true, all converts know this from their time outside the Church. Of course we say to Him “O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth,
who art in all places and fillest all things,
Treasury of blessings and giver of life: come and dwell in us, cleanse us from every stain, and save our souls, O gracious Lord.”
But other bodies outside the Church do not have grace. That's how you know the fruit of the Church is pure, undefiled across the generations. And God obviously does not dwell within people outside His Body who have not received Holy Baptism into His Body.
Thus you will not find Saints anywhere but the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, the Orthodox Church.

Satan held (and holds) the whole world in deception, a corruption of the human race made in the ideal image and likeness of God.
Christ came to provide the fullness of truth, and the Kingdom of Heaven is made manifest in the meantime in small increments, reconquering territory one consecrated Church at a time. All places societies and cultures outside the Church may contain a combination of fragmented truths, or purely debauched and desecrated mutations of God's truth. Some things, such as marriage, are so deeply ingrained into the human condition that they can be found everywhere; Satan cannot wipe these core truths out in all but the most abhorrent and backwards places that have accepted willingly his slavery. When Christ came and revealed the fullness of Truth, which is that truth is not an idea but in fact a Person, the Person of God Himself who became an incarnate man, the true heights, intentions, and destiny of man is revealed. Marriage is not a social institution from some genetic memory or a strata independently arrived at; instead it is a Sacrament, a Holy Mystery, the union between man, woman, and God.
All things in light of this revealed truth are merely shadows and graffiti on the Holy Trinity's masterpiece of mankind's glory made to achieve unity with and participation in God's Divinity by grace.

It is, but it is because of God, and it's not a reward or something you achieve yourself.
