The rite of Eastern Orthodox Churches is very similar (almost identical) to some of the Eastern Catholic rites. That is the liturgies are the same.

But the theological differences you listed are real. Your list is pretty accurate. I would change a few words but pretty right-on. Those differences are not differences in rite but theology.

Well, that pretty much removes any basis for Catholics complaining about the multitude of *Protestant* denominations then.

Because the reason for so many denominations is not necessarily differences in theology. Most of them are far closer theologically to each other than many of the Catholic rites are.
