*best after school special voice* To further explore the connection of both Catholics and protestants to Christianity terms that would be of particular help would be "The Reformation" and "Martin Luther" (not King).

I guess you can twist religion any way you like.
Catholics and Protestants are vastly different. The protestants came about from those wishing to leave the Catholic church.
Catholics are not Christians. At least not according to my history classes, the churches I've attended, or the Bible itself.
I'm not going to get into a long drawn out debate with you simply because 1: I personally think any organised religion is a cult. 2: I don't have time to debate such an issue. 3: Anybody who is so uneducated as argue that Catholics are Christians is the kind of person who clearly overlooks the obvious facts. There is no need or way for me to convince them of anything other than what they already believe in. Of course...The same can be said form most people who believe in any sort of God....Which refers us back to point #1.
