Why do some Catholics not consider themselves Universalists when the word catholicus means universal?
Because universalism is a heresy that believes that hell, at worse, is a kind of purgatory and that everyone will eventually be in heaven. It is a heresy that has been condemned by the Church, so no Catholic would consider themselves a universalist while remaining a Catholic.
Why did some Christians considered heresy such as threat?
Well, that depends on what Christians you are talking about, but if it was within the church it would be a threat just like it was a threat to the United States to have half of the country believing in slavery, and half not. Heresy is just non-traditional belief, and It tore them apart, and opposing beliefs can tear any group apart if there is no appeal to a higher authority or ultimate truth... luckily, in Christianity, there is. Heresy, if it is going against God's revealed will, would be rejected because it is untrue, and threatens the unity of the church. As indeed it already did in the early church, as shown by all of the splinter churches that came into being trying to fight the heresy that had grown within the main body. Heresy still threatens groups and society today. We have political parties which accuse each other of heresy, as well as fringe groups that like to espouse "heretical" beliefs like racism or child pornography, or whatever it is... and they threaten the peace and the status quo of society. Everyone is threatened by some kind of heresy. It just depends on what beliefs you find traditional, and which ones you want to change.

Roman Catholic AnswerThere are none, as Christians are Catholics and vice-versa. There are however some Christians who are not visible members of the Catholic Church. These are people who have received valid baptism and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. Someone who has different beliefs from Catholicism is known as a heretic, although if they were raised knowing no better, then the heresy would only be formal; although they were raised believing that they were Christians.

Why the Romans consider chritanity a threat?
Some Roman emperors saw the Christians as a threat to the Roman state. The fist prosecutions were small scale actions against Christians in the Roman bureaucracy and the Christian clergy. In the 250s, the emperor Decius wanted to test the loyalty of non-Roman religions and ordered that everyone had to offer sacrifices to the Roman gods. To the Romans, Roman religion was an integral part of the Roman state. The Christians refused because they were against sacrifices and they also saw this as a betrayal of their god. Hence they were persecuted. The emperor Valerian continued this persecution. Later in that century, the emperor Diocletian wanted to reform the Roman state, create an authoritarian regime and revive old Roman traditions. He was not very tolerant towards minorities. The Christians did not appear to conform with the kind of state he wanted to create.
