The differences between the Westminster Confession and the Heidelberg Catechism are minimal at best. The Heidelberg emphasizes public worship and a spiritual rest on the Sabbath (as opposed to physical rest), while the Westminster emphasizes physical Sabbath rest and the particulars of faith in action. One will also note a general change in language and structure between the Heidelberg (written between 1561 and 1563), and the Westminster (written in 1646).
