Neither catholic nor orthodox are Christian. Both catholic and orthodox lead to eternal torment in hell, because they both teach a false gospel of works (Galatians 1:6-9).
True salvation is only by believing in Jesus alone to save you, without adding any of your own works (John 3:16, John 6:29, John 6:47).
Oh David, I think I am beginning to like you. I think you are vile and deranged, but still. You are most certainly misguided. One more time tonight: Catholics are Christian.
The Catholic Church split after the Council of Nicea. I usually never recommend Wikipedia as a source, but this time it's actually accurate:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_orthodoxy#Early_Church This site lists the beliefs of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the history, the events leading up to the Nicean Council, and everything else.
