It’s not. It’s the reasons and impetus for living a clean life. Catholics do them under obligation and non Catholics do them by the nature of the Spirit within them. It’s the difference of walking in the flesh and walking in the Spirit.

No, it is the difference between understanding the obligatory and ignoring the obvious. We do what we do because the Lord God Almighty told us to. Protestants do not do as such because they think that they have a pass on such matters ie. that Jesus was just for the Jews and that Paul told them that they do not have do anything at all other than stand still long enough to have salvation pour down upon them.
