The differences are found mainly in the theology.Catholics believe in original sin. (that mankind is depraved from birth) That is why they are careful to baptize infants because they think they will go to hell if they die and arent baptized/saved. Christians believe more that typically we all grow up to BECOME evil, not that we’re BORN evil.Catholics believe that church tradition is equal in authority to Scripture and continues to make revelations. Christians believe that the fullness of the Gospel as revealed in Scripture is sufficient for all matters of faith, church, and salvation. Catholics believe Mary was the literal mother of God, that she mothered and imparted his deity and partially attributes salvation to. Christians believe that she was just a vessel, that God is the only author of salvation and spiritual parent.Catholics believe in the office of pope, that he is the representative of Jesus while hes not here in the body that he allegedly established starting with Peter. Christians believe that all are priests of God, that the apostles had such authority necessary to build the foundation for the NT church, but died with them, and Jesus is the only high priest.Those are the biggies. Some view the Catholic Church as the “whore of Babylon” written of in revelation. It could be. The thing is they affirm the major doctrines that Scripture teaches but at the same time, they have many other beliefs that are extra-ciricular and contrary to Scripture....
