One side believes in saints that are actually just renamed pagan gods that were created to help unite Rome back in the day. Other side doesn't believe in pagan gods.

The Catholics tried to cockblock Bluff King Hal, and he called his frat buddy Marty Luther and was like “omg halp!”

Luther was like “I got u fam” and they translated the Bible into English.

Hal then proceeded to get all kinds of tail because chicks dig an English Bible. The Pope got mad and shit, but Hal’s grand-daughter kicked his ass out of Northern Europe. The Swedes helped somehow.

The Dutch stood around and stuck their fingers in dikes.

The RC church invokes the Biblical Commerce Clause.

…17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. 18And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”…

The RC church says this gives them the power to decide what is right and what is wrong and to essentially do anything it wants to do and all are bound by it.

It’s the same as the FedGov saying the Commerce Clause gives the authority over everything tiny bit of our lives.

The protesting faiths do not concur.

Pretty sure all Christians believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, the Trinity, and all that.

I'm an atheist, but Catholics are Christians. For 3/4 the time Christianity has existed, they've been the only Christians. That's like saying that people in England don't speak English.

You're looking for a specific answer when you separate Catholics from Christians as a whole. And Christianity is a pretty big tent--Catholic, Lutheran, all the different types of Orthodox, Anglican, Evangelical, Baptist, Methodist, Amish, Quaker, Shaker, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist, and thousands of other denominations. Why don't you narrow it down to one of the non-Catholic Christian sects, and then you might get an actual useful answer.

Catholics think the pope is more than he is.

One sentence though to compare Catholics to Prots really would be:

Catholics can be called a unified group in theology and belief, where the only unity in Protestants is basically in not being Catholic, what with there being so many denominations and sects and whatnot.

Butthurt bible thumpers on here like to scream that Catholics are not Christian when some of these threads come up.

Its funny to see the same snowflakes get offend in other threads when people talk bluntly about their favorite brand of mythology.

Who's the Baptist Pope that declared not to recognize these truths?

I agree with your points having come the other direction and could probably add a few more points to the list.
But I would say that we agree on 95%+ of Christian doctrine beyond those points and still consider Baptists Christians.

Catholic salvation entails;

believing
being baptized
being a loyal member of the Church
loving God
loving his neighbor
keeping the Ten Commandments
receiving the sacraments, especially Holy Communion
praying
doing good works
dying in a state of grace

while Protestant Christian salvation entails believing as stated in John3:16.

From what I understand catholics believe you get to heaven by your good works. So they believe they can save themselves. I am Lutheran an believe that jesus died on the cross to take away my sins
an by believing in him I will be saved. There is nothing I can do to go to heaven but believe in God.

Catholics believe that Jesus started a church while here on earth with the 12 apostles.

He duly informed them, blessed them with the power of the Holy Spirit, and sent them forth with a mission.

Every other Christian church was started by someone else who was not one of those 12.

I believe the main difference between Catholics and other Christians is thier view on Mary. Catholics worship her as the Virgin Mary, mother of God. Other religions do not believe that she was a virgin, or do not pray to her etc. all of them believe the Jesus Christ is the son go God. And that we should be generally good people.
