Forgive my ignorance, but I'm looking for some insight about what the most major/fundemental differences between Protestants and Catholics is...anyone?

Are you talking about in a prayer, something as nondescript as "forgive us our sins, Lord"? Because other than that, I'd have to say that Protestants don't do any kind of official public confession whatsoever.

Catholic - faith and good works get you in to heaven.
Protestant - faith alone can get you into heaven.
namkcuR said:Can somebody define 'works'? What exactly is meant when you say 'works'?
nickypiemcg said:I don't know much but I think one of the main ones is that protestants believe that only god can forgive your sins whereas catholics believe that a priest can.

I doubt the pomp, ritual, pontification, ceremonies, robes, costumes, Michelango-frescoes and money of the Vatican (supposedly worth $4B ?) is really what Jesus had in mind when he was helping the poor, forgiving criminals and working for the downtrodden of humanity though.

I think this can be said about most organized religion these days. If it's the Catholic church, Protestant church, Christian Coalition, Trinity Broadcast Network, etc.
Don't get me wrong there are some churches that haven't kicked God out completely, but the Protestant church is just as bad. Every church competing for numbers with lavish building programs, commericals, some that are so large they have running fast food restaurants in them none of this speaks to me of the teachings of Christ. I can't remember the last church I've stepped in and felt God was still residing there, God may have resided in members but not the church as a whole. It's been a long time.
But to blame just the Catholic church for this I think is turning a blind eye. I've belonged to four different protestant denominations growing up.
