What is the difference between being Catholic and being Christian. I'm not Christian but I know a lot about the religion.

Catholics believe in the power of humans over god, as in if you are baptized, you are "safe" from hell.

Where as Christians believe that if you believe that Jesus died for your sins, then you are "safe"

Catholics also believe during communion, the wine is transformed into Christ's blood, and the bread is transformed into Christ's flesh right before you ingest it. Christians on the other hand look at communion as symbol for the covenant with god (if you say "lulz covenant iz halo", I will shoot you... with my mind).

Catholics also use holy men as a relief from sin, so whenever they sin, as long as they confess to a member of a clergy, they will be wiped clean so long as until they sin again.

Christians remove the middlemen and pray directly to god for forgiveness.

thats about all I can remember from the days when I used to go to church.

Where'd you get that? I'm a Catholic, and that's not at all our belief. Baptism is like a confession, forgiving the sins you committed without being in the faith. Once you're in the faith, any sins you commit afterwards must then be repented by asking for forgiveness.

Not exactly. We're not hoping to become vampires. We just look at is as a clearer symbol, a sacrament rather than a tradition.

First of all, "so long as until" doesn't mean anything. Secondly, we pray to these men so that we may admit our sins and feel humility, thus making us less likely to want to commit them later. God is the only one who forgives sins, but he knows when you're sorry. The problem is, even sins that you regret may happen again if you don't feel the shame of someone else having heard them.

Not sure where you're geting your Catholic facts from, but it kind of p.isses me off. We all believe in Christ, and fighting the other denominations of your same faith is kind of stupid. Of course there are traditions within other Christian denominations I don't agree with, but I don't say anything about it. You know why? I don't think it's important to outline the differences between those that believe in Christ. You may have a different view.
