I assume the Catholic Church does. The Baptist church has several branches-- Southern Baptist, 1st. Baptist, 2nd. Bethel Baptist, etc. Together they constitute a large following. It appears that the Catholic and Lutheran Church's are the larger two in the northern and centeral portions of the USA. The farther south one goes, the larger the Baptist denomination.

Catholic's. Only because the Baptists are split into several demoninations.
People, he's asking about "churches" !!!
Catholics are not all split up like Baptists, Methodist's, Evangelic's, etc. And come on! Christians? Where did you come up with that answer? He's not asking what the largest faith is.

The Roman Catholic Church: 65,900,000.
You didn't ask, but:
The Southern Baptist Convention (16,267,494) is second largest, but all Baptists combined (about 35,000,000) do not pass the Catholics.
The United Methodist Church (8,251,175) is third.

The Roman Catholic Church claims 25% of churched people. Baptists are 16%. But the catholic church baptizes babies, and they become members, so everyone ever baptized as a catholic is part of that number, whether they go to church, or not.
