If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck then it is a duck.
If you worship on Sunday and keep the holidays of the Catholic Church then you are a Catholic.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm a Christian. Raised a Catholic, though am no longer a Catholic. I'm confused as to how your mind came up with this gem. I follow the Bible. I don't go to church. Not on Sunday. Not on Saturday. Not any day of the week. Many Christians go to mass or church services on Saturday. Some have services during the week.

no - not all Christians are Catholics- I am a Messianic Christian- I worship every day but Saturday is my Sabbath and I celebrate the feasts of God rather than the feasts of man. Seventh Day adventists don't worship on Sunday, there are others that worship on Sunday but dont celbrate the pagan oriented Catholic holidays. On top of that, all Catholics are not Christians.
No generalizing please- there are way too varied practices and beliefs that are labled 'Christian' religions and you cannot judge one Christian by even 100 others.

Don't let the Protestants hear you say that. Although holidays were started by the Catholic church, not all denominations preach the same things as the Catholic church. Actually, most don't pray to saints anymore. So, no, if you are Christian, it does not mean you are Catholic.

Not all Christians worship on Sunday. Many worship on Saturday. I know this from personal experience. It is true however, that all Catholics(in good standing) are Christian.

Not all christians are catholics and not all catholics are christian. And - Booellis was wrong. We catholics do NOT WORSHIP Mary. We venerate her, yes. BUT there is a BIG difference between that and worshipping. We ask her intercession. And by the way - Jesus was NOT the only one around to perform miracles - he charged his apostles to go out and perform miracles as well!

The first Christian church was Orthodox. Catholics are a split off from there.

ah, no not at all -- most Christians do not keep the same Holy Days as the Rcc. They do not celebrate Palm Sunday (some do now), Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Epiphany, Lent, Pentecost....there are numerous other things - the pope -- some have bishops, pastors, councils and other various heads of their organizations -- all sorts of things
While all Rcc are to be Christians, all Christians are not Catholic.
Christians are those who believe God sent His Son to live, to be born of the Virgin, to suffer, to die -- to be ressurected and save us from sin. All Rcc are to accept this Truth above all.

The Catholics worship Mary as well as God. Mary was nothing more than Jesus mother and they worship her as if she performed miracles just like Jesus did. They also pray to Mary before they pray to Jesus and in the bible Jesus said "to get to the Father you have to go through me" he didn't say "to get to the Father you have to go through my mother and then through me". I'm non-denominational and I say that no, not all Christians are Catholic. And by the way If you believe in God then your supposed to worship on Sundays. He wrote that in Genesis. So I guess that Jewish people are Catholic too. Right?
