No-one has done a reliable survey and much depends on who you count as Catholic. In a poll taken in 2007, 47% said they were Catholic, 36% described themselves as Evangelical Protestant and the rest claimed to be "other" or refused to answer.

What is a Christian if people refuse to see Catholics as Christians?

Roman Catholic AnswerSomeone who calls themself a "Christian" who refuses to see Catholics as Christians is someone who is ignorant of history and reality and has been taught a lot of prejudice, accepted it at face value, and is certainly not living the faith that they are professing. The answer below is an example of that as everything they are saying about Catholics is absolute nonsense. This is a sad commentary on the state of "Christians". A Christian is a person who has been saved through the Lords grace. Catholics think that they get to go to heaven through their good works, which isn't right. That is the main reason that Catholics aren't Christians. Christians attend church on Sundays like Catholics but they have a "walk with God". Christians read their Bible a lot to learn more about what God has to say about things in life and read about the previews of what will happen soon, unlike Catholics. Christians pray from the heart not a piece of paper, unlike Catholics. They also worship the TRUE father which art thou in heaven, The priest is the "father" for Catholics.
