Why aren’t Catholics considered “evangelicals”? How do they spread The Gospel if they don’t evangelize?

That all depends on how you (and they) define "The Gospel".

I listen to Evangelical preachers, and to my Catholic priests on Sunday, and I find almost no difference in the substance of what is being preached.

Evangelical does not mean evangelism. It means people of the book.

Originally it was used by Reformers to self identify themselves. Today it's usage is so mushy that it really has little practical meaning.

They reject sola scriptura, which is one of the major tenants of evangelicalism.

It’s just terms we use to classify people.
