UNEQUALLY YOKED
Paul warned the Corinthians: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?" (2 Cor. 6:14).
Paul's exhortation is to stay separated from paganism in general (v. 17).
This warning has often been applied to the case of marriage with unbelievers in particular.
So my answer to the interrogatory is a resounding No.

Roman Catholic AnswerIt depends, but the answer is surprising, as it is the other way around. As the above answer points out, Catholics are Christians, but not all who call themselves Christians are actually Christians. To be a Christian, one must be validly baptized and believe in the articles of the Nicene Creed as it is classically interpreted. The verse that you are referring to, 2 Corinthians 6:14 calls Christians to avoid marriage with unbelievers. If you are married to a Catholic, it would be wise to listen to them, and find out about their religion as their religion was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Himself, and guaranteed by the Holy Spirit.Add your answer:

What is better being christians or chatolics?
Well, Catholics are Christians. The word "better" makes the question very subjective and will change depending on who you ask. A Catholic will say it is better to be a Catholic but being a Christian who is not Catholic is the next best thing while a Christian who is not Catholic will say the opposite.

IS BEING BAPTIZED AND CONFIRMED MEAN I AM Catholic INSTEAD OF Christian?
Because you were baptized in the Catholic Church, you have the fullness of Christianity. I don't understand the question, because you are Catholic, you are a Christian. You need to talk to the local priest and start RCIA classes to learn about the great and wonderful gift you have been given as a Christian. You are in my prayers, I am so happy for you.
Can a Catholic man married by the Justice of the Peace to a non-Catholic get married to a Catholic?
Probably. If the Catholic man did not gain permission from his bishop to be married by a minister who is not a Catholic priest or deacon, the Church will not recognize that prior marriage as being valid. Thus, in the eyes of the church he was never married to begin with. If he got a civil divorce from his first "wife" then he would be free under secular law to remarry. Since he was never married before in the eyes of the Church, it is likely that he can marry a Catholic woman (assuming she was never married) in the Catholic church. He should consult with his pastor for a review by a canon lawyer.
What does it mean to be a Christian and a member of the Catholic church?
If you are a Christian, then technically you are a member of the "catholic" church, because that usage of the term means "universal". If you are referring to the Roman Catholic church, then it means that you follow the beliefs and practices of that particular denomination in addition to being a Christian, just as you can be a Christian and a Presbyterian. There are many resources on-line that can help you find out what Roman Catholics believe if you wish to investigate that in depth.
