Not all protestant denominations believe in the trinity. Some believe that God has revealed Himself in three different ways (Father, Son and Holy Ghost).
Most believe in the 10 commandments. But some people (both Catholic and Protestant) think that it is now OK to work or by on the Sabbath (others just do it because they do not want to follow that commandment).
The new testament is an extension of the old. Jesus came to fulfill the ceremonial laws (to be our sacrifice, to take our sins). So the ceremonial sacrifices are done away with, but the laws of sin are still in effect.

How many different kinds of Catholic are there? How many different kinds of Protestants?
Sadly, not all believe in the Trinity. Sadly, not all try to keep the Ten Commandments. Some almost ignore the Old Testament, others claim to follow the Old Testament so closely that they nearly ignore the N.T. teachings of Grace, etc.
The main difference between Roman Catholics and Protestants?
Seems to me Roman Catholics believe in the Deity of Jesus, the Trinity, etc. But they seem to ADD to what Scriptures teach. Many Protestants, on the other hand, seem to pick and choose and SUBTRACT from what Scriptures teach.

Ok. First off, I'm going to be very straight forward here. I've come from a family full of Protestants. Infact, I'm Presbyterian, the original Protestants. I know what I'm talking about here.
Ok...Both Catholics and Protestants believe in the Ten Commandments and The Trinity. The Catholics, though, do have 7 Capital Sins that are like, the "baddest of the bad". Both believe in the Bible, but Catholics don't read it like Protestants do. They have Catholic Docturine. That is a written account of what they believe. But, even though they don't read the Bible, they use it to back up all the stupid arguement that they start. Feel free to IM me anytime! chimpanzee522

catholic spelled with a small c, catholic is used to express the idea that Christian beliefs have a universal character. Over time, it came to refer to the "great Church," as opposed to the various heretical and schismatic movements which kept developing.
Protestant is used to refer to any Christian group which developed from the Reformation. Characteristic of most Protestant churches are such dogmas as acceptance of the Bible as the sole source of revelation and authority, justification by faith alone (sola fidei), and the universal priesthood of all believers.
Contrary to popular perception, the name does not stem directly from the idea of people "protesting" various doctrines and actions of the Catholic Church. Early on in the Reformation, those dissenters were referred to in Germany as Evangelicals (and this is the term still in use today). Peace was established between Evangelicals and Catholics at the Diet of Speier in 1526 because the emperor, Charles V, needed peace at home in order to deal with foreign conflicts.
Once he felt that he had those foreign issues in hand, Charles turned back to the religion issue at home and, at a second Diet of Speier, he revoked the peace along with the concessions given to Evangelicals (which allowed each person to follow their consciences and each prince to handle religious matters in their territory). This may have pleased the Catholic Church, but it infuriated the Evangelicals and they protested his actions - it was at this time that the name Protestant came into widespread use.
