- Catholics and Methodists believe in the holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit).
- Methodists and Catholics share the same Doctrine of Justification.
- Both follow some form of Apostolic Succession.
- Sign of the cross and votive candles, though more common in Catholicism are used in both.
- Hagiography, or study of the Saints, is encouraged.
- Both practice infant bapitsm.
- Prayer beads (rosaries) can be used in both churches, but are more common in Catholicism.
- Both use altars and have either an altar cross or crucifix.
- Both recite the same Creeds (Nicene, Apostle's, etc).
- Both consider themselves part of the Communion of Saints and the Holy Catholic Church. (In this case "Holy Catholic Church" means part of the church on a global scale.)
- Both bow when aproaching the altar.
- Ministers and Bishops must be ordained.
- Catholics hold that the Roman Catholic Church's teachings and traditions are as important as the Scripture, whereas Methodists teach that truth comes from Scripture only.
- Though the Methodist church does not deny the historical content of the Apocrypha, it does not consider it to be a Holy Book as the Catholic church does.
- The most important piece of the Catholic Mass is receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ through communion; the focus of a Methodist service is on the readings and liturgies. When Methodists receive communion, they believe that Jesus is spiritually, not physically, present. Catholics serve a closed table 9only Catholics may partake) while Methodists serve an open (anybody who feels inclined may partake).
- Catholics Have 7 Sacraments but Methodists have only 2 ,the Eucharist and Holy Baptism.
- Confession is required in the Catholic faith, but optional in Methodism.
- Methodists ordain women, Catholics do not.

There are a number of physical differences that will distinguish Catholic churches from Protestant churches. Above or near the altar of a Catholic church you should see a crucifix as opposed to a simple cross in a Protestant church. There will also be a tabernacle with a sanctuary lamp that burns continuously which will be absent in most Protestant churches. Catholic churches will frequently have statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary and other saints which are absent in Protestant churches. Pews in most Catholic churches have kneelers which are absent in Protestant churches. When you first enter a Catholic church you will notice holy water fonts near the entrances. Many Catholic churches, especially older ones, have confessionals which are absent in most Protestant churches. There are other minor differences but these are the most commonly noticed.

These are probably two of the most similar churches in Christianity. They share different views on some social issues but besides that, not much. There are many many differences, between the two bodies. I was raised in the Methodist and Presbyterian church , which are much more similar de to the roots of the denominatons. Lutheranism was patterned from Reformer Martin Luther a Roman Catholic priest. Although his 95 thesis was posted on the fdoor the Lutheran Church has remained the closest of the Protestant bodies to Catholic in doctrine and liturgy. Although Anglican is also similar to Catholic, there are many points of differences in doctrin which Anglican has more in common with the Reformed faith. Methodism which came from the word Methodical traces its roots to John Wesley an Anglican priest. The Methodist church became more of an evangelical holliness and revivalist denomiation. Some churches will vary in style. While still having some similarities to anglican, they still retain close resemblance to the Presbyterian church as well. Methodist are much less liturgical than Lutherans and have differences in doctrine regarding the sacraments of communion and baptism. Lutherans believe in consubstantiation ( similar to Catholics) with regards to Communion while Methodist hold a spiritual significance, much different. Methodist services can resemble a low episcopal or Presbyterian or Congregational church, but not a Lutheran liturgy at all, which again is much more similar to Roman Catholic.
The crosses in Roman Catholic and Methodist churches are generally the same; the difference is that the Roman Church usually depicts Jesus still upon the cross, while all Protestants (including Methodists) show an empty cross symbolizing the risen Christ.
