Catholic with a small 'c' means 'universal' while Catholic, with a capital 'C' refers to the Catholic Church and includes all those rites that are in union with the Pope.

Catholic AnswerWhen a person says the Church is Catholic, they are affirming that the Church was founded by Our Blessed Lord, that He founded the One Church to exist as His Mystical Body throughout the entire world, and throughout the rest of history, to preach the Gospel to all people, everywhere. The Church is "Catholic" both in its scope, its orgin, and its Mission.from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
Mission - a requirement of the Church's catholicity.
849
The missionary mandate. "Having been divinely sent to the nations that she might be 'the universal sacrament of salvation,' the Church, in obedience to the command of her founder and because it is demanded by her own essential universality, strives to preach the Gospel to all men": (Ad gentes 1; cf. Mt 16:15.) "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and Lo, I am with you always, until the close of the age." (Mt28:19-20)

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?
When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.
What does it mean to say the Church subsists in the Catholic Church?
It means that the 4 marks of the Church as spelled out in the Nicene Creed - One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic - are found only in the Catholic Church. Other sects may have one, two or three of these marks but only the Catholic Church possesses all four.

Is Protestant Catholic?
No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide. If you mean 'Catholic' with a large 'C' - this usually refers to the Roman Catholic Church and, though the Protestant Church is part of the catholic (universal) church, it is not part of the Catholic (Roman Cattholic) church as this is a separate denomination.

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
