Sacraments.

Because 99.99% of Protestants at least believe in the Dominical Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion.

Priests - The man is the priest of the home. The Aaronic line is of no use now....that was in the OT sacrificial period of the temple.

Lord's supper - We (protestants) celebrate this as well. However, we do NOT believe in transubstantiation. There is no saving value in the emblems.......they do NOT literally become the body & blood of Christ.

Sacraments - Nope.....none needed. We're saved by grace through faith. All else would be considered works.

Predestination - I am a Calvinist so....I believe in this

Throw the catholic cult out altogether.

Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell (Galatians 1).

Bible teachers that said the Vatican and the catholic cult are an Antichrist: John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards

There's actually a chart that tells you the specific answer to that? That's kinda scary............

Wow Chris, you certainly seem like a tolerant little fella. Did God tell you all of that? Must be good to converse directly with Him so you know you're always right.....

Awww...Did Chris get mad and give me a thumbs down? Guess I'll be burning in Hell forever now......

I would say predestination.

They're most dissimilar on the issue of priests, as Protestants believe that ministers may marry and have families, and Catholics require priests to take a vow of chastity. Also, priests are viewed as something of an intermediary between God and Christians by Catholics (that's why Catholics need to go to Confession and can't confess their sins directly to God on their own).

Depending on the branch of Protestantism, the Lord's Supper may or may not be viewed similarly. Catholics believe that the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ. Some Protestants believe this, some believe that Christ is present with the elements but is not physically the elements, and some believe that the Lord's Supper is nothing more than a remembrance of Christ's work on the cross and a time to contemplate the gospel.

Catholics believe in 7 sacraments: baptism, holy Eucharist (the Lord's Supper), penance, confirmation, matrimony, holy orders, and anointing of the sick (last rites). Some Protestants (including Episcopalians) agree, but the majority believe that only Communion and baptism are sacraments.

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that predestination is consistent with free will since God moves the soul according to its nature. Calvinism, on the other hand, rejects the role of free will and teaches that grace is irresistible and that God by an absolute election saves the souls of some and abandons the souls of others. I think these boil down to roughly the same thing, but some may disagree.

I came from two backgrounds. Protestant and Catholic.
The protestants believe that having communion is just
to remember the last supper. They have it maybe every so many months. The Catholics believe that communion is a sacrament that when you drink the wine and eat the bread, that you are truly consuming the blood of Christ and the body of Christ.
