In the context of Colonial America, although also true in any other context, the difference between Puritan and Catholic Christians can be summarized as follows: As Protestants, the Puritans emphasized the individual's faith-experience and the Christian Bible as essential for Christians. By contrast, Catholics emphasized as essential Church traditions, the celebration of the 'sacraments,' and the hierarchy of Church leaders.
