By contrast, who owns non denominational Christian churches, or other Protestant churches that don't have a central authority like Catholicism?

in episcopalian churches like the Catholics and Anglicans church property is owned by the level above, so the parish church is owned by the diocese, the diocese property is owned by the Arch Diocese and, in theory the Arch Diocese property would be owned by either Rome or Canterbury, I suspect the transfer of wealth out of the country might be legally a bit more contentious though
