There are many. for one thing ( or seven) the Saklvation Army despite its laudable works in the charity field- totally repudiates the whole idea of Sacraments. in contrast the Catholic Church observes seven- Baptism, Penance, Communion ( or Eucharist), Confirmation, Holy Orders, Extreme Unction ( last rites of the dead and dying) and Matrimony. the SA do not have sacraments. they do have paralell rites for weddings and dedications ( probably called a call to arms) but never use the term Sacrament. there are SA pamphlets and tracts on this. They argue in part the word itself does not appear in the King James Version of The Bible- and even Luther could only trace Baptism ( man must be born again of Water!) and Communion-called the Lord"s Supper, (do not confuse with Last Supper) directly to the Bible.

Both the Salvation Army and the Catholic Church believe that Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, is the son of God, and that it is only through Him that salvation is granted to man. Beyond that, the Salvation Army is a protestant ecclesial community and so they have more in common with other protestant sects than the Catholic Church.
