Lutheran confirmation typically occurs at a younger age, around 14, while Catholic confirmation is usually received around the age of 16. In Lutheran confirmation, the focus is on affirming baptismal vows and teachings of the faith, while Catholic confirmation emphasizes receiving the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Additionally, Lutheran confirmation is often a simpler ceremony compared to the more elaborate Catholic confirmation ritual.

Protestant worship was in the local language. Catholic worship was in Latin. The protestant congregations sang hymns. The Catholic congregations did not. Since the Lutheran worship service was a translation of the Roman Catholic one before Trent, little difference existed there.
The main difference is the authority of the pope. Catholics accept it, Protestants and Orthodox don't. There are some differences in the cannon (list of books) included in the Old Testament (although they all have the same New Testament). There are several different types of Protestant religions (Lutheran, Methodist, Anglican, etc) which have differences between themselves and differences between Catholic/Orthodox. So complicated to get into more specifics.
Lutheran Bible has 66 books and Catholic Bible has 73 books. There is no difference in the New Testament of Catholics and Lutheran. However, Catholics consider 7 more books as divine in the Old Testament of the Bible.
Nearly every doctrinal difference between the Lutheran and Eastern Orthodox Churches stem from two factors. 1. The Lutheran Church is a catholic, or western Church which shares its roots with the Roman Catholic Church. The forefathers of the modern Orthodox and the forefathers of the modern Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches underwent the "Great Schism" in the first millennium over Trinitarian doctrine and 2. The Orthodox uphold Apostolic Tradition as a separate means of Church authority, while the Lutheran Church only accepts those tenets of Church Tradition which are upheld by the authority of the Canonical Scriptures. Both are liturgical, historic, sacramentarian Churches. During the Lutheran Reformation, there was much dialogue between the Greek Orthodox and Lutheran theologians as many of their grievances with Roman Catholicism are the same. There were some small, political and doctrinal issues which prevented any formal declaration of union or fellowship. Dialogue continues, and many of the differences between these two historic Churches are simply cultural.
Catholic priest must remain celebate (they may not marry) while Lutheran ministers may marry.
The Lutheran Reformation kept two of the seven doctrines of the Catholic church; The Lord's Supper and Baptism. Luther also reorganized the church service by replacing The Mass with vernacular liturgy.
The three main types of Lutheran churches are Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), and Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). The main differences between them lie in their beliefs and practices. ELCA is more liberal in its interpretation of scripture and allows for more diversity in beliefs and practices. LCMS is more conservative and adheres closely to traditional Lutheran teachings. WELS is also conservative but places a strong emphasis on strict adherence to traditional Lutheran doctrine and practices.

Catholic Confirmation usually takes place when the young person is between the ages of 12 - 15 years. Orthodox Chrismation usually takes place after the baby is Baptized.
None, Catholic priests are Christian priests.
In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation is regarded as a sacrament which gives the participant grace. Only the bishop confirms an individual. In the Lutheran Church confiirmation is only a rite in which the individual makes a public confession of the faith received at baptism. It is not a sacrament like baptism and Holy Communion or Lord's Supper. Confirmation follows a somewhat lengthy instruction in basic Bible doctrines.
