Have you investigated the Orthodox? Church has a beautiful culture and tradition (the Catholic), but also emphasizes scripture and communion with God, as Protestantism. It is also good because they are outside the Protestant and Catholic mourning which for five centuries.
One thing I like about Orthodox Christianity is his humble attitude towards theology. Western Christianity has much to do with defining everything (systematic theology). Orthodox Christians refer to things like the Trinity as "divine mysteries," and while participating in discussions about them, do not presume to have all the answers.
Orthodox Christianity is based on three pillars: the humility, love and prayer.

Catholics believe in being made of the word and not hearers only. As a result, they tend to actively participate in worthy causes.
There are other branches of Christianity with great humanitarian efforts, similar to those of Catholicism. Some churches are based on the idea of service (The Salvation Army, for example).
I'm not sure what was your question, but I hope my thoughts have helped.

The criterion of what we believe and, hence, religious order that is, without doubt you subscribe to a topic that no one can or should advise you. However this issue is obviously going to be one in which the various orders to compete for its appearance and therefore can be misleading.

Protestans and Catholics believe in Jesus for salvation. Catholics also believe in purgatory. The reason that some Christians broke outside the Catholic Church is that a Christian (I forgot his name. Something like martin …. I think) saw that it was bad for the priest to receive money to pardon a person guilty . Also, Protestants read the Bible all you want while on the other hand, Catholics feel betrayed that the church if you read the Bible, because only the priest may read. But now that the Catholic people have the Bible.

There are many things involved in Catholicism as the rest of Christianity does not have a. For example, the level of importance of the saints and Mary, the need to confess to a priest, the need to do penance for an acquittal, the need for icons and crucifixes.

You do not have to choose between Catholicism and Protestantism? That is great that you want to become a Christian. You do not have to do anything but pray and believe that Jesus has taken away all their sins. Catholics and Protestants should not conflict with each other. Should be good. The main importance is Jesus. Next in everything they do and see his love and truth. If you have questions about Christianity, do not hesitate to message me. Congratulations on your account for the conversion.

Its only God who knows His true worshipers.
Meanwhile,
his decision will depend solely on its understanding of who God is and the type of lifestyle they live, their culture and race
Can I know its origin?

Curiosity is not the best kind of religion?
