I'm a catholic too

^Ditto.

Yay! I'm a happy camper!

I had to pick "I think Catholics are wrong." I don't really think they are WRONG completely, but I think some, or rather, most of the devout Catholics will not, unfortunately, be Saved. :( :(

Why will Catholics not be Saved!? Acctually, most of my best friends are Christian and I am Catholic. We share many beliefs and we pray together all the time. The only difference I can think of at this moment is that my Christian friends don't know the Lord's prayer (idk why) and we don't celebrate all the same holidays (Lent for example) If you haven't commited mortal sin you will be Saved.

i am roman catholic so and i think i am ok

i'm christian and i think we are all god's children

why do people say that catholic and christains are diffrent and how are they diffrent?

I am also a Roman Catholic and we all believe in one God.

Catholics and christians are NOT different Catholics are a branch of Christianity so why people have to say 'I'm Catholic'?We should say that we are Christians united by One God,One Jesus.

Agreed I'm Catholic and I believe in God and Jesus!!! what's so different from the Christian religion? Me thinks nothing!

As said above, Catholic is just another branch of Christianity (first one, in fact). Some have differing ways in each Catholic Church, it all depends sometimes.

Also, we all commit sins. No matter who u are. We can pray to sin less, but never be sinless (That's only Jesus).

Catholics, tho I don't agree with some of their traditions, is no different than Methodist, Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, etc. when it comes to being a Christian. We all believe, & aceept Jesus Christ as our One & Only Savior, so why judge? Disagreeing is a something else.

i'm christian but i don't believe anyone is bad until they prove me wrong and i have not met a catholic who has.

ISNT CATHOLIC THE SAME AS CHRISTIANS :O?

ACTUALLY AM BOTH. I THOUGHT THAT CHRISTIANISM WAS BOTH GOD AND JESUS, BUT THX TO BNGELUSFAN NOW I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. I THINK THAT GOD, JESUS AND OTHER PEOPLE SHALL BE ADORED EQUALLY. EVERYONE EXCEPT SATAN AND THE DEVILS, EVEN THOUGHT, FOR MORE CHRISTIANS WE ARE, WE ALWAYS COMMIT SINS, THX GOD WE CANALWAYS GO AND PRAY GOD TO FORGIVE US.

I'm Catholic and I think it's wrong that others criticise different religions because they don't share the same belief. Everyone should respect others beliefs no matter what religion they are part of.

@roxi Catholics are apart of Christianity. Think of it like a tree. Christianity is the tree and the branches are the different parts of Christianity. Like Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, and Catholics. They're all apart of Christianity but they all have different beliefs. The difference between Catholics and other Christians (there are others but to me this is the main one) is that during Mass others Christians don't believe that the bread and wine don't turn into Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Catholics do. Hope that clears things up.

it's another denomination of christianity the only different things we do from the other denominations is take bread n wine Jesus' bread n wine n get baptised o that's basically the only different things we do i can think of

chatlics dont follow the bible

anyone who believes that god is real, that he is the creator, and that he sent his beloved anointed son jesus christ to die for us on the cross, and who put all their trust in gods power and will for their life, can be called a christian.

From what I understand and believe, believing also includes a relationship with Jesus, faith in Him, being born again (thus baptized--sin is washed away, life buried with Jesus, and emerge eternally secure and reborn) The Holy Spirit living in you, etc. it's not just 'Oh, I believe in God or Jesus" or "I believe there's a God", because the devil and demons also believe and tremble. In Jesus, it isn't about "we have to do this or that". It's about free will, praying, worshipping, praising, Bible-reading because you want to, not because you have to. The Holy Spirit leads you to want to. God living in you. So, when it comes to Catholics, yes they pray to Mary and Saints (which isn't Scripturally correct, since Jesus is The Intercessor between God and man, not Mary and Jesus isn't stated to need an Intercessor), but they're Christians as well. In Mark 9:38-40, the disciples told Jesus about others who cast out demons in His Name, who didn't follow them, and Jesus' reply was about not forbidding them, and they aren't against them on their part (my paraphrasing). It's all for Jesus, not for self.

Everyone is God's children. That obviously doesn't mean everything Catholics do is right (or everyone else, for that matter). Their basic dogma outright contradicts scripture, stuff like praying to Mary/the saints or "venerating" them, that Jesus' death wasn't enough to save us, that the Pope can forgive us, indulgences, etc. They also teach that Protestants hate Mary for some reason just because we don't deify her (of course we respect her) and that we're going to go to hell for not doing what the Pope or a priest says.

I love Catholics as much as I love anyone, I just don't want them to be deceived. I'm friends with some online and some of them are more devout than I, but a lot of Catholics are pretty hateful to non Catholics and it makes me wonder how they think they're showing any Christlike behavior that way. Not that I or anyone else am better, but they tend to have a special animosity I never see from other sects, often because they believe they're the original established Church so that makes them holier.

TL;DR love Catholics but yes most of their teachings are biblically incorrect

Well, I'm an Anglican, therefore Protestant myself, married to a Roman Catholic. What does it make me, a half Catholic? The churches within the Anglican Communion, including my very own Church of England, are half way between the Catholicism & the Reformed Christianity. In fact, even the Archbishop of Canterbury visit the Pope in Vatican City very often, so I think we're not that much different like most people (most Christians) actually think. Sure we have some mutual differences, but hey, what religion doesn't have any groups?! I think we should all focus on those things we have in common, not on those things that we usually disagree. For your information, the entire Anglican Communion as a whole could quite easily join the union with the Catholic Church, much like all those Eastern Orthodox Churches which are already in union with Rome. Who knows, perhaps in let's say 50, or 100 yrs from now, this question would become obsolete, if the Christian unity based upon the ecumenism can be restored once again. I already practice ecumenism in my life, in my family. Most people would be surprised, but some of the Catholic prayers & even some Catholic religious feasts can also apply to Christians in general. We already have a lot of prayers in common, like a Lord's Prayer, or Glory Be To The Father for instance. Most Christians share similar beliefs, such as a concept of Holy Trinity. For example, I for one believe that praying the ecumenical rosary (without all those Hail Mary's, of course!) can be quite useful, just like I believe that a Sacred Heart of Jesus, or Jesus, A Divine Mercy are not meant to be for Catholics only. God & Jesus just can't be that much exclusive, not when it comes to eternal salvation! We're all Christians, so my advice is quite simple: Stop dividing & finally start uniting! There is already a World Council of Churches even today, so why do we continue insisting so much on such negative polls like this one which can only take us further apart instead of accepting each other as brothers & sisters in Christ, our Lord, which would finally bring us much closer together, as one religion once again?! So, am I the only one on this planet who actually believes in the ecumenism these days?

Fyi there is no such thing as a collective salvation. Every single person can be saved, yet only individually, not simply by the membership in some Christian group. God & Jesus just don't work that way. Eternal salvation is individual, not collective, therefore nobody will be saved automatically just because he or she belongs to some group, denomination, or even to some church. Not all people will go to Heaven on Judgement Day & just because someone is let's say Catholic, or Mormon, or Amish, or Jehovah's Witness, that's no guarantee for eternal salvation. Once again, salvation is individual, not collective & only God can forgive our sins, not the Church, or the Pope, although I respect Pope Francis very much. I think he's a true Christian who simply follows the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, from the Gospel. Even some Catholics don't like him that much, but to me he only speaks exactly the same thing that even Jesus would be telling us for himself, if he was still amongst us even today. Some say Pope Francis is much too liberal. Others just don't like him for being too modest. Who can possibly understand why some people don't like him so much? I think even Jesus was much too liberal for his own time. They are both centuries ahead of their time, much like me tbh.
