Are Christians and catholics counted as the same religion?
Why wouldn't they be?
Depends on who you ask. Generally they, both will claim to be Christians. Plenty of Protestants will say that Catholics have left the teachings of the bible so far behind that they are in name only and perhaps they shouldn't be counted. (I have never heard Catholics say the same about protestants, but 500 years ago they would have). There are also Mormons who claim to be Christian, but other Christians will say they use the name but not the beliefs. Jehovah's Witnesses also get some "you are not really Christian". In general though Christians generaly think of the other sects as just misguided, likely going to hell, but still Christians in the end despite that.
