Topic: Enchantments and Protection

I've been playing against cards like Stormbreath Dragon and Soldier of the Pantheon, and wondered if a creature enchanted by an Aura counts towards a creatures colors or attributes to be protected against? For example, say I have a Boon Satyr enchanted by an Unflinching Courage, can someone with either a Stormbreath Dragon, or a Soldier of the Pantheon block it unpenalized?

Edit: I would like some form of quotation from the rules if at all possible as well

No. They're not blocking the enchantment, they're blocking the creature, which is green.

Are you able to quote any of the rules that may dictate it? People that I play with would be more apt to believe me if there is some form of proof. If not, I can try my best to find a source.

Regarding protection:

Regarding Source (where the effect is coming from):

So, when an enchantment gives a creature +2/+2, the enchantment is not dealing damage, the creature is.

ETA: Regarding enchantments, " These enchantments must be attached to an object specified by the Enchant ability, and exert an effect on that object. " (emphasis mine)

This shows that the enchantment spell has an effect on your creature card (for example), not an effect on your opponent's protected card.

That makes much more sense to me, and thank you for the sources and clarification, this will help tremendously!
Also thank you yearofglad for help with the clarification!
