Is this some sort of remnant of evangelical puritan protestant ideology?
I don’t understaun this.
If you ask me, it’d make as much sense as Orthodox and Christians… or Shia and Muslim…
I know not all Christians are Catholics but for feck’s sake…
They’re all Christians to me…
Edit:
It’s a U.S thing but this is the sort of things I hear…

I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?
I now know more distinctions (apparently Catholicism requires duty and salvation is process, unlike Protestantism?) but I still think they’re of a similar branch (Christianity) so I just wonder the social factor
You really shouldn’t place the Baptists and Catholics under the same label. Remember those pages of the history books where Baptist KKK members would burn crosses on the lawns of Catholic community members, or run them out of town? You also shouldn’t place Protestants and Catholics in the same category, either. Remember one side throwing stones at the other in Ireland, or was that left out of history books? Catholics have been through a lot of abuse.
