There should be no difference in the way Catholics treat non-Catholics than the way they treat anyone else. Matthew 7:12 says "So whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them." Also, take the parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37. In Jesus' time, Samaritans and Jews were enemies. When the Jew gets robbed and beaten, two Jews, a Levite and a priest, both highly respected characters, pass him by. It is the Samaritan who overlooks the fact that they are enemies and helps him anyway. When the lawyer asks Jesus "who is my neighbor?" Jesus shows through the parable that everyone is our neighbor and we should treat them accordingly, despite any differences.

Catholics and other Christians still share the same belief in Christ. Protestant faiths are like a puzzle with many pieces from other puzzles mixed in. The pieces don't fit. Although the Protestant faiths may not have all of the right pieces, we still share many of the central beliefs of Christianity. Even Jews and Muslims, who are not Christian, believe in the same God. Christianity branched off of Judaism when Christ came as the Messiah. Jews just haven't realized that the Messiah has come yet. Islam came from the descendents of Ishmael - Abraham's son by the maid of Sarah - Hagar. However, we are still called to show compassion towards and love people that don't share beliefs in the same God such as the Buddhist, Hindu, and Sikh faiths, and even athiests and agnostics. We are all the Body of Christ. God is our Father, and as such, we are all brothers and sisters. So treat others the way you would like to be treated, and love each and every person as you would your brothers and sisters.

No. Not usually. You are supposed to have 2 feeding shells. One for treat and one for food. Because when you have the treat in the hermit crab won't eat the food. (Like if you had the choice of cake or spinach.) So you are supposed to put the treat in every day or two days. Hope this helps!
