Best Answer

Catholics give spiritual authority to the pope.

  • In Catholicism salvation is available through either faith or works.
  • In Protestantism salvation is available only through faith.
Catholicism also believes in Purgatory (a place where any remaining unforgiven sins can be removed before you can get to Heaven), Protestantism rejects the idea of Purgatory (instead believing salvation forgives all sins and permits direct entry to Heaven at death for all Christians).
