What are devout Catholics?
A devout Catholic is typically someone who goes to church at least once per week, prays regularly, goes to confession regularly, generally follows the moral teachings of the church, and by their example encourages other Catholics to do so as well. However, anyone who is baptized by a Catholic priest is considered by the Church to be Catholic whether or not they do any of those things. I know many Catholics personally who attend services at Episcopal, Lutheran, and various other Christian churches, or who do not go to church at all, and they are all still considered by the Catholic Church to be Catholic.
What remains the greatest organizational difference between the various protestant churches and the Roman catholic church?
The Catholic Church is under the direction of a pope. Protestants are not. Catholics believe the Eucharist to be the actual body and blood of Christ, as opposed to being a symbol. There are other differences, but these are the main ones.
Why do non Catholics go on pilgrimages?
First of all, many other religions have pilgrimages. The Hajj is a massive pilgrimage that Muslims do. There are many other examples. So lots of people who are not Catholic go on pilgrimages relating to their own religion. If you are talking about non-Catholics going on pilgrimages associated with Catholics, then there are various reasons why they might go. When there is a Catholic pilgrimage, people don't have to prove they are Catholic before they go, so anyone can go. Some may be another denomination of Christianity and so share some beliefs and so might have an interest in going. Some go out of curiousity. Some may go out of a professional capacity, such as a reporter doing some work on the pilgrimage. Some may be brought by some Catholics hoping that they will get some benefit out of it. Some people may be thinking of becoming Catholic and may go on a pilgrimage as part of their exploration in Catholicism. So there are many reasons why a non-Catholic may go on a Catholic pilgrimage.

Why did the Catholics make changes in the Catholic Bible?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere have never been any changes to the Bible, the Catholic Church does not believe it has the right to tamper with God's received Word. The only changes that have been made to the Bible are by the protestants who threw out various books of the Bible which did not agree with what they taught and believed, and rewrote what they could not throw out, or in the case of Martin Luther with the Epistle of James, for instance, he just disparaged it.

What is the estimated number of believers for roman catholicism?
There are approximately 1.2 Billion members of The Catholic Church. There are various "rites" within The Catholic Church (i.e., Eastern, Marian, Coptic, Armenian, etc.). The largest "rite" in The Catholic Church is the Latin Rite. I suppose one might distinguish them as Roman Catholics but the term "Roman Catholic" is not one that The Catholic Church assigns to herself. Technically, there is no such thing as "Roman Catholicism" except, perhaps, to the degree that all Catholics accept the successor of St. Peter (the pope, 1st Bishop of Rome) as the Vicar of Christ on earth. That's true regardless of whether a Catholic is an Eastern Rite Catholic or Coptic or Latin Rite, etc. There is also substantial scriptural (NT) and historical evidence that St. Peter was the 1st pope (Bishop of Rome). He was then succeeded by Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, etc., down to the current pope, Benedict XXIII. Non-Catholics will assign the term "Roman Catholic" to The Catholic Church for their own theological reasons & purposes but The Catholic Church does not recognize that term -- Roman Catholic -- as one that is legitimate or accurate. On another level, all Christians are members of the "catholic"/universal Church of Christ. But not all Christians are members of The Catholic Church. It's a little complicated and can be confusing sometimes.
