He did, but what @DrPrunesqualer and I are telling you is that the Church of England didn't actually become recognisably protestant until Edward's reign. Henry remained Catholic in practice all his life, as did the new Church of England during his lifetime.
The Reformation in England didn't happen overnight, it begun under Henry - prominent reformers ended up in positions of political power and drove the beginnings of Protestantism - but Henry was seduced by the theory that no person should have authority of England or the English monarch.
It isn't straightforward, it's a big historical topic, and typical of Henry to pick and choose the bits he wanted (a bit like Trump tbh). He believed much of Protestantism as heresy.
Edward & Elizabeth were both raised as Protestants and both had reputations as devout Protestants from childhood. When Edward succeeded Henry, he (and the prominent Reformers in his government) set about making sweeping reforms, including the introduction of the Book of Common Prayer.
Edward was every bit as zealous in his religiosity as his sister Mary, who quickly undid everything he and Henry has changed. By the time Elizabeth acceded to the throne, the English people had whiplash from the changes they'd lived though.
