I would try to avoid getting involved with a Catholic or a Baptist or a Pentecostal or a Mennonite or an Amish or a Mormon or a JW or a Satanist. I would look for Christian if I got in the looking mood
Well said,but that label too is erroneous in today's society.
I would look for a born again believer who accepted and loved all God's word!

I don't know too much about Catholicism vs Protestantism but I find Catholics to be Christians. They believe in the main doctrines (Trinity, meaning of Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, etc.). They don't pray to the saints, but they ask for the saints to pray for them (if I understand correctly). To me, this seems to be similar if I ask someone else like a friend to pray me (I'm not praying directly to God in this sense, but asking someone else to pray for me). The biggest distinctions are that Protestants believe in faith alone, and scripture alone, whereas Catholics believe in both faith and works, and scripture plus tradition.
Protestantism is only about 500-600 years old, and is fairly new. Personally, I've questioned the credibility of Martin Luther (founder of Protestantism) after I learned that he wanted to remove a few additional books from the New Testament such as Hebrews, James, and Revelation. He had concerns over these books because they supported faith plus works-based salvation. So, sometimes I think we should just rely on the original (Catholic) Bible that has all the books.
A big reason due to the different beliefs is that we are using different books.

"And, from observation of many words put forth, it is disturbing, the absence of how LOVE
appears to be missing, and the necessity of LOVE needed within families.
Forty-six years of our union of marriage...'Praise God'.
And, we were each raised in a completely different 'faith', and family background.
It is irrelevant as to which 'faith', as a true LOVE should be strong enough to overcome
all things. We have learned acceptance, commitment, forgiveness and willing to change
for a more compatible relationship. Somewhere within these pages, I have shared my thoughts
concerning family unity. And, from my life 'history', only by the grace of God, I have come
to learn the profound significance of God's LOVE, which has enhanced our family LOVE.
When you omit LOVE, and the ability to express such, expect undesirable consequences."
~Thoughts to ponder~

Interesting, the end what mater, did we learn of Jesus to Love one another as He Loves us. The Love of many becoming cold, more quarelsome as the end aproches. I seem to stur up more quarels when I desire to be in the unity of the Spirit. I will not try to do the opposite to see if that works: it does not work for them.
God speed on your Joirney sister.

I probably wouldn’t marry a catholic person. There are a lot of staples of the Catholic faith that I don’t agree with or think are parts of salvation. And also I wouldn’t marry a non Christian person.
...Heck I’m not quite sure what level of differences in faith opinions would be acceptable. It would be based on demonstrated faith.

Roger, that's not true of everyone.
it's my honor to remind you -
The disciples said to Him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others — and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
(Matthew 19:10-12)

If you think that’s tough...she would have to renounce Vatican 2, 3, the Amazon Synod, the Schism of 1054 and then I’d think about it.
Both had become so politically corrupt and full of ego.
Not long after the Roman orthodox would be eroded away by reformers who sought to distance themselves from those corruptions. The eastern orthodox would be over run by Muslims, and diminished to merely a remnant.
Does this sound like a coincidence? Yeah, I don't think so. God is sovereign, he allowed this for a reason.
The commandment is to raise up according to scripture. But it is not a promise they will be formed in Christ like with Paul and Timothy.
Paul suffered as in pains of birth until Christ gave Timothy a new heart and willing spirit. Timothy is typified as a chaste virgin bride looking ahead to our new incorruptible bodies.
We can plant the spiritual born again seed(Christ) and water it with the doctrines of God. But he alone can cause growth if any.
He must do the first works of His faithfulness.
We walk by faith the eternal not seen and not of them of the number who compare the things seen to the same things seen the temporal .
