err... Catholics are Christians.
Do you want to rephrase your question?

Catholics are Christians.
Christ established only one Church with one set of beliefs (Eph. 4:4–5). He did not establish numerous churches with contradictory beliefs. Why do these churches have contradicting beliefs? Because Jesus Christ gave the Holy Spirit to only one Church (John 14,25; John 16,13). He also authorized only one Church to teach the world (Matthew 28,20; Luke 10,16).
To see which is the true Church, we must look for the one that has an unbroken historical link to the Church of the New Testament. Catholics are able to show such a link. They trace their leaders, the bishops, back through time, bishop by bishop, all the way to the apostles, and they show that the pope is the lineal successor to Peter, who was the first bishop of Rome. The same thing is true of Catholic beliefs and practices. Take any one you wish; e.g. confessing to a priest, purgatory, Immaculate Conception of Mary, Sacred Images, etc., and you can trace it back to the apostolic period.
Peace and blessings!

I've had that problem. With choosing which church to go to before. What helped me a lot was getting to know the people in the church. Those who you can connect with, talk with, and share stories and help each other with. Once you've opened up to both churches and get to know the people in the church, then you can make a decision.

Catholics are Christians. The original... the Catholic Church has the fullness of the Christian faith. Has all 7 sacraments, not just 2. Much more than the Protestant denominations.

Well the Catholic church was the first Christian church and today they are still Christians. All other Christian Church's came from the Catholic church.
But, attend some services, Christianity is not your choice, it chooses you, and you will know when you are in the right one.
The one that speaks to you.

Catholics. They are the most accepting of science. They accept evolution and they do not claim the earth to be 6000 years old.
Atheism is the best choice... but if you HAVE to have a religion then Catholic is better than other Christian sects.

Choose to know God first. Read your scriptures rather than let someone else tell you what is in them.

Some Catholics are Christian (although they don't become Christians simply because they are of the Catholic denomination).
Seek first the Kingdom of God. In other words, worry about your relationship with Him, through Jesus Christ, and ONLY through Jesus Christ. He'll lead you to the congregation He wants you to be in.

Catholics are christians. If you mean catholic or protestant then that makes more sense. I think strong Catholics celebrate worship with luxuries whereas protestants only take things needed. I THINK that's right anyway.

Catholics are Bible Christians par excellence
