Without really getting into it, (as it can be a rather long and descriptive), the main differences are: Catholics believe in the virgin Mary, Protestants do not. Catholics pray to saints, Protestants do not. When it comes to scripture, Protestants sole and only source is The Bible. Catholics follow the bible, as well as Roman Catholic traditions. Catholics believe in Purgatory, (where you are purified if you are not yet perfect when you die) Protestants on the other hand believe if you follow the bible, and accept Christ you will go directly to heaven. Protestants do not approve or follow the Pope. Protestants believe that faith alone will grant you access to heaven. Catholics believe faith as well as good deeds on earth will send you to heaven.
This is a fairly quick run down of some of the fundamental differences between the two. Like i stated this is quite an in depth subject and can be fairly extensive in exact differences and beliefs.
Source: i am Irish decent with Irish citizenship and have traveled Ireland extensively both Northern Ireland and south. The fundamental differences there are clear and definitive in regards to your question. I could not expose my Celtic cross tattoo in the North, as protestants would know i am a catholic, and would not take kindly to it.
