Christians and Catholics have very similar beliefs because Catholicism comes off of Christianity. But there is one main thing that keeps them different and separate; Catholics consecrate the Eucharist, Jesus Christ, during the Mass. Catholics receive Jesus in bread and wine form. The blood of Christ is the consecrated wine and Christ's body is the consecrated bread.

Roman Catholic AnswerThat such a question could be asked is truly remarkable. Catholics ARE Christians. As a matter of fact they are the original Christians, and the only Christians for the first one thousand years until the heartbreaking split with the Orthodox.

Somethings they do and somethings they don't. However the most important difference is about salvation. Catholics believe Jesus died so that we can earn our way to heaven by good works. Christians believe the Bible which says we are saved because God accepts the death of Jesus as a satisfactory payment for our sin. Catholics have other non-Biblical beliefs too, they put the traditions of the Catholic Church before God's word, they pray to saints, they believe Mary intercedes for them and many other non-Biblical beliefs.

Who was first Catholic or Christian?

Catholic AnswerCatholic and Christian mean the same thing, and have meant the same thing since the first century. However, since the Protestant revolt in the sixteenth century, there are people who are not visible members of the Catholic Church who are considered Christians as they have been validly baptized and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation.Your confusion may stem from the protestant revolt when the heretics who left the Church called themselves "Christians" and used that word to exclude Christians who belong to the Catholic Church. This is an error, and historically incorrect.All Catholics are Christians, not all Christians are Catholics.

Well if they have different beliefs they aren't basically the same thing, right?
