"Any particular reason why you left out Islam?" I didn't. The paragraph you selectively quoted goes on to refer to "many other religions as well."
"And why do you differentiate between Catholics and Christians?"
By "Christians" I refer to those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ found in the Bible. See also my reply #12.
Catholicism is a man-made religion loosely based upon the Bible, but full of doctrine and ritual which directly contradicts much of what Jesus teaches in the Bible.
There are many Catholics who are Christians, but the Roman Catholic Church is nontheless a cult.

Gargantua, your assumptions about what it means to be 'Catholic' and why you think Catholics aren't Christian are so ignorant and uninformed as to be both amusing and sad at the same time.
Amusing, as the comments fully illustrate that you are nothing more than an ignorant, anti-Catholic bigot, apologies for the redundancy.
Sad, in that I've encountered so many (sic) self-righteous, pious, ignorant "Christians" like yourself that I've lost count.
Read this slowly: Catholics are Christian since they believe in the risen Jesus Christ as their Savior. Do you fully comprehend that? Can you take your bigoted head out of your ignorant ass long enough to understand this?
For every inane Biblical reply you'll come up with, remember this and other examples: Some Baptist "Protestant Christians" preach against dancing and alcohol, although the Bible expressly permits both. Other Protestant sects have similar beliefs/rituals with no Biblical back whatsoever. That doesn't make them any less Christian, though.
