Yes, Catholics still follow the teachings of Christ that salvation is obtained by faith coupled with good works. As St. James said, "Faith without good works is dead." Also, read Matthew chapter 25.

What is the difference between a catholic church and a christian church?
There is no difference. The christian faith is made up of Catholics, Presbyterians Methodists, Baptists, etc. Non Catholics in the Christian faith are call Protestants. The Christian faith is a faith in Jesus Christ and His life, death and resurrection. Faith in Christ righteousness instead of our own good deeds for the salvation of the soul. A salvation from an eternal existence of the soul away from God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. Those inside or outside the Catholic Church or the Protestant Church who are putting their trust and faith in their own good works rather than Christ's righteous life will spend eternity away from God the Father in an awful place.

Both religions believe in salvation through faith alone and both see only the Bible (as opposed to: "... plus Catholic Church teachings") as the source of that faith. Calvinism however believes (well, mostly used to believe) in predestination, meaning that however you lived your life eternal salvation or damnation was already predestined at you birth. Lutherans believe that salvation is also determined by how you have lived your life. Another difference was that Lutherans retained more 'Catholic" liturgical practices in their church services.
