Christians are people who believe in Christ
It was all the one religion until the reformation when it split to Catholic and Protestant then Protestant branched off into others e.g Anglican.
Protestants have less sacraments and a different belief in the Eucharist
and you spelt Catholic and Christian wrong
Wow how do I know all this.
The first christians were Jews who believed that Jesus Christ was the savior and they seperated themselves from the jewish community who did not believe Jesus Christ was the promised Messiah, since they didn't feel like the world was much better after him.
The seperation between catholics and protestants came 16 centuries later.
do you read the bible on your own? like read it just to read
If you don't why not?
When we pray we must make the sign of cross because I'am Roman Catholic...
And I don't want to seem like a whinging bitch here but it would be admirable if people could make an effort to spell basic words correctly:
C A T H O L I C
C H R I S T I A N
M A R Y not Marry!
Sweet! now everyone lives happy ever after. :)

BUT
shouldn't ya'll know that catholics ARE christians?
just a different branch?
Everyone has their own beliefs. No offense to anyone, but my belief is that u dont have to pray to Mary or confess to a priest to get to God/Jesus. We all have our own personal relationships with The Lord Jesus Christ by praying to Him in His name. We r all Christians, period.
So you see, TRUE Catholics are NOT Christians. Some may be Saved, I don't know, but if they believe in the above points, they are not Christian. Not that I hate Catholics or think they're "jackasses" or brainwashed. People just have to accept that Catholicism is different from Christianity, that's all.
The only true requirement to be considered a Christian is to be a follower of Jesus; all of the other traditions of groups are just minor details in the big picture.
I'd also like to point out to Twilight_Dream that we don't IDOLIZE Mary; that insinuates that we hold her above God, and that is certainly not the case. There are Catholics that would argue that because you lack those practices, YOU'RE not a true Christian; of course, I disagree, but I think you get my point.
Also, Ive heard that some Catholic churches (not all but a few. Im not generalizing) do not accept the book of Genesis as fact but do take in the Big Bang Theory as a most likely possibility that the world started, but God added onto it. How can u believe in the rest of the Bible & not include the book of Genesis?!
On the issue of Mary, it says in the Bible that we pray to Jesus to get to God, not Mary. Yes she was important to biblical history cuz she gave birth to Jesus, but nowhere in the Bible does it say that u should/have to pray to her in order to get thru to Jesus/God. Im not bashing, I just dont get it in some ways is all.
I've heard that about some groups too...I don't understand it either. Or why so many books were removed before the Bible was published; we should have always had access to it all. It's a shame.
On the issue of praying to Mary though, I can shed a bit more light; Personally, I prefer to just pray to the Lord, (though I tend to word it as though it's to God directly) but I understand the practice a bit. I know Catholics that pray to Jesus AND Mary, as well as various saints...I don't think that intercessory prayer is required to speak to God, but the saints are more of a helping-hand...An extra "boost" if you will. It's a bit hard for me to word that properly.
But to each their own, of course. God knows that hearts are in the right place, and that's what matters :)
ps: there r some differences between a catholic and a christian- only SOME beliefs.....but its not like its totally different.....i mean honestly there are some things i don't agree with but i have no probs wit them
