No I think you'll find that Catholicism is a sect that split off the same Orthodox Christian root sect of Judaism. The Protestant sects are merely sectarian branches of Catholicism. They all trace their roots back to the same Judaic sect that believed that Jesus was the Messiah.

All due respect to the dictionary people but calling Christianity a religion is like lumping buses, cars and trucks together and calling them automobiles.

Well they are. Particularly if you stick to the root of the word which was late 19th century: from French, from auto- 'self' + mobile 'mobile'.
You Americans perverted it into meaning a car.
Mind you by the American dictionary definitions they all qualify.
