My name is Matthew. I try my best to serve the Lord as best I can. I also try to serve my fellow brother and sisters as best I can. Salvation is my goal for you.
advice
I became a Christian two years ago, but I was baptized Catholic as an infant. I really get into the Christian faith more than the Catholic faith.
However I also heard that Catholic is very similar to Christian, except that Christian is more of a general faith than Catholic? I really don't know.. I mean I would hate to leave the Catholic faith. I am asking what is the difference between being Catholic and Christian? Would it matter if I was baptized Catholic and being more Christian? What am I supposed to do??
Thanks
Catholic is similar to Christianity yes, however Men throughout Catholic history started to change doctrine, the bible, and add their own personal beliefs into it, thus makeing it a false religion.
They believe in purgatory, when the bible makes no mention of a purgatory. They took some scripture and twisted it to fit.
They believe Mary Jesus's mother is a mediator between us and God. Jesus stated Himself that He is the only way. No one else. This includes Mary.
Second they dont believe the bible is Fully true. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,13509-1811332,00.html
I mean come on. This is a bunch of guys dressed in fancy robes trying to play God. They think they are saving people, yet they really are sending them to Hell. I only say this because like I said...Jesus is the only way to Heaven. Catholics take their eyes of Jesus and place them in Saint Mary Queen of Heaven (Did you know the bible talks about a Queen of Heaven and its not good at all...Jeremiah 7:18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.)

They pray to Mary for help with Sin. I do believe only one person I know can deal with it, and it's not her.
"Would it matter if I was baptized Catholic and being more Christian? What am I supposed to do??"
It doesnt matter what you were baptized in before. What matters is you see the truth and accept the bible for what it is: The truth and the unfalable word of God. Accept Jesus, not mary, and so forth. I used to be Catholic so I know how it is...I would get baptized as a newborn Christian, and leave the Catholic faith behind....Thats what I would do...Im not telling you what to do...
I could go on and on and on but Ill spare you ;)
