The vast majority of protestants Catholics never set foot in the front door of a church. Some just because they don’t feel like it’s necessary to get to heaven and that’s exactly what they’ll tell you.

Wow...you might want to extract your foot from your mouth

The vast majority of protestants Catholics never set foot in the front door of a church.

That is another careless bare assertion which is contrary to the evidence, since most Protestants do not become members by being baptized as members, and as 46 percent of Protestants report attend church at least weekly versus 38 percent of Catholics, and a Gallup poll found that church attendance among American Protestants has remained stable at roughly 45% since 1955, while church attendance among American Catholics has dropped from 75% to 45%, although it has remained stable since 1995 despite all the negative press related to abuse scandals - http://www.gallup.com/poll/117382/church-going-among-catholics-slides-tie-protestants.aspx (and in Latin America, 83% of Protestants report attending church at least once a month, compared with a median of 62% of Catholics- http://www.pewforum.org/2014/11/13/religion-in-latin-america/)

In the USA 24 % of Catholics attend mass weekly Since

• Of an estimated Catholic population in the United States of almost 78 million, less than 48 million attend more than once yearly. http://www.glenmary.org/rcms2010/

• Church attendance [2002-2005]: Evangelicals at approx. 60 percent showed the highest percentage of those who reported they attended services weekly or almost weekly, with 30% going more than once a week. Catholics were at 45 percent (9% more than once a week), and Jews 15 percent. Gallup poll. between 2002 and 2005. http://www.christianpost.com/article/20060418/weekly-attendance-highest-among-Evangelical-churches.htm

• 39 percent of Catholics affirmed not attending church is a sin, versus 23 percent of Protestants. Ellison Research, March 11, 2008 http://ellisonresearch.com/releases/20080311.htm http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080312/study-behaviors-americans-consider-sinful.htm

• Catholics' responses to the questions that make up the 2004 Gallup Index of Leading Religious Indicators show Catholics lag noticeably behind Protestants on all but two of the survey items that make up the Index: belief in God and church membership. http://www.gallup.com/poll/14725/protestants-vs-catholics-whos-got-religion.aspx
