The catholic religion is a works salvation religion.. like most other world religions really.. It's about doing good deeds and resisting doing bad deeds, about reaching a certain level of goodness that will get you into heaven by passing the test..

Christianity is about believing Jesus and trusting in the Atonement Jesus secured by His death on the cross.. It's a grace salvation religion.. where you get saved by having all your faults / bad deeds forgiven.. You don't make the grade by being good enough.. You make the grade because all your transgressions are forgiven..
