Roman Catholic answer: I'm not real sure that I understand your question, but I'll give it a shot. Probably the biggest difference between Catholic and Protestant belief is HOW one is saved. From what I understand a Protestant thinks that as long as he accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and feels saved, then everything is done. He should live his life according to that belief, but once he is "saved" it is a done deal and no matter how he lives it will not affect the outcome. If a person ends up living a horrible, sinful life after his "conversion" then a Protestant would say that he hadn't really been save.

On the other hand, a Catholic believes that Jesus Christ redeemed all of us on the Cross, and that we have to work out our salvation "in fear and trembling" (to quote The Bible) and that we are only "saved" when we face God after death and are judged. This works out in our daily life as a need to be constantly converted, to renew our faith each day in prayer, to confess our sins regularly till the day of our death, to frequent the Sacraments, especially confession and Holy Communion, as these are the two Great Helps that our Blessed Savior left us to get through life, remembering all the while that the gate is narrow, and the road is hard that leads to salvation; and that without great humility none of us can hope for salvation (learn of me, for I am meek and humble of heart - Jesus).

What is the difference between a Catholic chruch and a prosatant church?

Catholicism emphasizes the Authority of the Church, & then the authority of Sacred Scripture. Protestantism emphasizes the authority of Sacred Scripture, & then the authority of their various churches. Orthodoxy is just like Catholicism: It emphasizes the authority of the Church first, & then Sacred Scripture. Catholicism also emphasizes Church governance, History, Tradition, Rules and Symbolism. Protestantism leans more on a personal relationship with Christ. Catholicism tends to be more formal. Protestantism tends to be more open to change and contemporary trends.
