Is this some sort of remnant of evangelical puritan protestant ideology?

I don't understaun this.

If you ask me, it'd make as much sense as Orthodox and Christians.... or Shia and Muslim...

I know not all Christians are Catholics but for feck's sake...

They're all Christians to me....

Edit:

It's a U.S thing but this is the sort of things I hear...

I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?

I now know more distinctions (apparently Catholicism requires duty and salvation is process, unlike Protestantism?) but I still think they're of a similar branch (Christianity) so I just wonder the social factor

Oh shit! Independent Fundamental Baptist! I had to deal with living with that shit, too. At the end of the day, if the king james bible was good enough for Peter and Paul, it's good enough for me. Also, rock music is the devil.

I went to Bob Jones. There was a kid there got in trouble playing the guitar cause what he was strumming had "that sound." No lyrics, just him strumming it wrong was sinful. Ain't no way that kinda teaching gonna fuck someone up for life.

I went to a small private Christian high school too. Our Junior year we did a "college tour" to check out Christian Colleges. We visited Bob Jones, and I was blown away. That place is fucking wild. I'm glad I settled on Penn State in the long run.
