The Jesuits combined missionary zeal and a great education with Catholic doctrine.

No. The Jesuits are associated with the Catholic church.
No, they're Catholic.
No, the Jesuits, as conceived by St. Ignatius, were formed to strengthen the Catholic faith and restore it where it had been lost due to the protestant revolt.
Actually the Jesuits fought AGAINST the Reformation. That's what they are most famous for.
First of all, Jesuits are not a "type" of Catholic per se. They are a religious order within the Catholic Church. Some other religious orders in the Catholic Church include the Benedictines, the Dominicans, and the Franciscans. All of them are equally Catholic, all of them believe the same Catholic doctrine, and all of them follow the pope.
Jesuits believe in the Society of Jesus, which is a Roman Catholic order of priests founded by St. Ignatius Loyola, among others. They believe in the reformation of the Catholic church.

The Jesuits' emphasis on education allowed them to combat the spread of Protestant ideas by teaching a rigorous form of Catholic doctrine to both clergy and laity. By educating individuals in the principles of Catholicism, they were able to reinforce loyalty to the Catholic Church and draw people back to the faith in the face of the Protestant Reformation. This educational focus also helped the Jesuits to train a new generation of leaders who could serve as advocates for the Catholic Church.
There is no such thing as a Jesuit or Dominican Catholic. They are all Catholics. A man who discerns a vocation to the Society of Jesus, started by St. Ignatius would become a Jesuit, he remains a Catholic. Likewise, a man (or woman) who discerns a vocation to the Dominicans would become a Dominican Friar (or Sister) but remain a Catholic. Jesuits and Dominicans are two religious Orders within the Church. Jesuits have two main vocations: to teach and to preach the faith to non-Catholics. Originally, the Order was founded to fight the protestant heresy. The Domicans were founded as an Order of Preachers, they were originally founded to fight the Arian heresy. Needless to say, the Dominicans have been a little bit more successful than the Jesuits, when was the last time you ran into an Arian vs. a protestant?
The Jesuits' focus on education helped spread Catholic teachings and combat the spread of Protestantism during the Counter Reformation. By establishing schools and universities, they were able to train and educate individuals who would actively promote Catholic beliefs and values, effectively strengthening the Catholic Church's influence. Additionally, education provided a platform for the Jesuits to engage in intellectual debates and defend Catholic doctrine against Protestant criticisms.
