Catholics have a different concept of Church than protestants. For a Catholic the Church is the Mystical Body of Christ (see Acts 9:1-5; 1 Cor 12:12-14; Col 1:15-2:3) thus if they are devout Catholics, they do nothing "outside" of Church, as, in their baptism, they become a intimate part of the Church and cannot leave it without committing a mortal sin.
Yes
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, as the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and without Our Blessed Lord, there is no salvation.
The question needs to be expanded as there are many things to consider. A Catholic can marry outside the church as long as it is in another Christian church and recognized by the Catholic church if the non catholic party agrees to your oath to raise the children as Catholic. The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.
Yes! they treat people equally because they believed that outside the church there is also a salvation.It only matters about their faith.
The cross in a Catholic Church is usually a crucifix, whereas the cross in a Protestant church is just a plain cross.

No.
Yes, not only must they take a class, but the Catholic must receive special permission (which is not always given) from the Bishop to have a wedding outside of a Catholic Church. Even if it is outside a Catholic Church, the wedding must still be witnessed by a Catholic priest (deacon, or bishop) or it is not valid.
your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it. If you are divorced and are a practicing Catholic, you may receive communion as long as you remain faithful to your 1st spouse. This would be the situation for any divorced Catholic. You are not free to marry without nullifying the first marriage.
The salvation dogma is the belief spoken of by St. Augustine of Hippo that no one can be saved outside of the Catholic Church. No one, even if he shed his blood can be saved if he die outside of baptism in the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church's mission is to spread its teachings and welcome all people to share in its beliefs and practices. It seeks to build a community of believers regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or background, in line with its principles of inclusivity and outreach.
