Op here. Just a simple this is the difference. I’m formerly Catholic but I can’t wrap my head around what the actual difference is. As mentioned, for years I’ve tried to understand via Google and reading but I’m not fully seeing it before my eyes if that makes sense.
Sort of how Pentecostal believes you are able to speak in tongues and must if you have been filled with the Holy Spiritvs. Charismatics who feel you can be filled with the Holy Spirit without speaking in tongues.
Is there anyone familiar with two or one that could just phrase it better for me?
Is there a simple way to think of these denominational differences?

Basically each Protestant group is another step removed from the Catholic Church and go from strict interpretations of communion (it IS the body and blood of Christ) to more loose interpretations (it is a symbol of the body and blood of Christ) (transubstantiation vs. consubstantiation). I believe Lutheran (Missouri Synod) is closest to Catholic theology but can’t recall for sure. Methodist is one of the further ones from Catholicism.

Presbyterian are from Scotland and Lutheran are from the reformation era but from Germany and somewhere else I know they eat corned beef and cabbage. Anglican and Episcopalians are gay welcoming and Methodists have good music.
I don’t care about none of them because I’m Catholic. If you want more legit answers ask Jeeves.
