is it only a Protestant thing?
I believe both will get into a Rapture, as long as Christ is the centre of your thoughts, although the traditional Catholics pray to the Saints and Mary as a way of saying they are not worthy of praying to Jesus, or the Saints are used to spread knowledge of the religion to get people interested like Easter, different regions have their own patriot Saints anyway.

ok, you're obviously not a member of the OSAS (Once Saved Always saved) doctrine. Have you ever taken the time to look it up?
gracethrufaith.com... I think does an excellent job of breaking it down.

Well in The Bible it did say
Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me."
Don't know about you but if Jesus said to do something I try (but fail ALOT) to do it.

No catholic will get into Heaven because they are pagans who stole the names of our first leaders and then took over our religion in the successful attempt to transfer power from the Roman Empire to a church.
They are no Christians. ALL of the wars people like to blame on Christianity are from this evil pagan heresy. No Christian sect has ever started a war. Only pagans and pretenders.

... I see catholic priests having sex with little boys which is not only pedophilia, but homosexuality and fornication too. Now, i dunno about you but i read in the book of Acts that when youre saved Christ's Holy Spirit comes and dwells in you and gives you the option to no longer sin should you choose it. The catholic priests are also drunkards which the Council of Jerusalem establsihed we are to not partake of strong drink because it leads to debauchery. They worship Mary as the queen of heaven and make her part of the Trinity and call her the "Queen of Heaven" which is really the goddess Astarte/Ishtar.
Do you think Christ had sex with little boys? Do you think he was homosexual? Do you think he fornicated? Do you think Christ was a drunkard? If you call yourself a christian and you do those things you are taking God's name in vain and are a blasphemer. I don't think those were the kinds of miracles the holy Spirit was supposed to work.
