Can a card be protected from a negate?
-
No, unless you count "Cannot be Negated" abilities which are pseudo-protects. I'm trying to think of an example where this would come into play, and I'm having trouble. Did you have a situation in mind?
-
yes but it's becoming clear on how negated gets through protect. seems like it's just like immunity which is still negatable

Type: Site • Brigade: Red • Ability: None • Class: None • Special Ability: Protect N.T. human Evil Characters in your territory from capture and discard abilities on opponents' cards. Protect N.T. Sites in your territory from opponents' cards.
I personally believe that "protect" abilities essentially shield the targets (N.T. human EC's & Sites in this case) from mentioned actions (capture & d/c), meaning that there is NO WAY that the action can reach the target.

Protect could essentially be understood as "is immune to" from everything I have ever read.

centenarian negates but the site is still protected. Im guessing you can't be protected from a negate unless the card says can't be negated then.

Correct. Cannot be Negated isn't really a protect ability, but it basically protects the ability from being negated.
