You forgot to begin this post with "Afaik..." :mrgreen:
I think you could ask any good Lama and they would concur.

Any "good" Lama? So you think the dozens of Lamas who know it better are not "good"???

No, Sir, maybe a few would do so, but I don't even know a single one.
You are right for "default" Dharmapal sadhanas you transform first as a yidam - but there are a lot of sadhanas
with Dharmapala as yidam.
I've recieved transmission of at least two different Dharmapalas as yidam: one from Kagyupa & the other from a terma.

But I know here is the Gelug-forum, maybe they cannot accept this :shrug:

Topic locked.

Somehow I think, this topic evolved more and more to something that is now completely inappropriate.

I never heard my Gelug teacher chat like this about HYT protector practice. He would talk about it and explain it only in the context of an empowerment.
