What is the difference between Catholic and Christian?
Answer
Catholics are Christians. Christian means a follower of Jesus Christ, and Catholicism is one large tradition within Christianity, alongside Protestant and Orthodox traditions. So it is not one versus the other. Being Catholic is one way of being Christian, sharing the same center in Jesus.
“John 17:21” the Bible points here. Read more Scripture.

You do not have to sort this out alone. On The Living Bread you can ask the family to pray with you, ask Simon anything about faith, read the Word, and find a church near you.
