Catholic Christianity and non-Catholic Christianity must, of course, be considered as separate religions since they have precious little in common.
I once believed the same myself but the more I learn about Christianity the more I wonder at how much these two are alike. Not to put too fine a point on it because I realize it is not your main concern but what exactly do you see as the “precious little” which Catholic and non-Catholic Christians have in common?
Is it that they both purport to follow the biblical Jesus (which neither actually does)?
Is it that they both promote ignorance and superstition: engendering spurious guilt and bogus fear, fostering false hope and unrealistic expectation?
Is it that they fleece the poor and mentally abuse the helpless in an effort to maintain slimy dominance over the hearts and minds of the innocent?
Is that the “precious little” you see they have in common?

Theology is the science of Dominion.
