The basic answer would be for their beliefs. Protestants formed when Henry VIII did not like the rule of the Catholic church, which declared that he could not divorce. Every Protestant church comes from the Catholic Church carried out only the bits that do not like and made their own rules. Catholics removed things from the truth to suit them too. Methodist evangleists, Baptists, etc. are all mixtures of the Protestant church compound.

Protestant: the bread and wine (Communion service) is the body and blood of Jesus.
Catholic: the bread and wine (Communion service) is tha the body and blood of Jesus.
And this is why thousands of Catholics and Protestants kill each other.

One of the main planks of the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism concern the meaning of the Eucharist, when bread and wine offered at the consecration during Mass, the Roman Catholic doctrine holds that these are converted in the body and blood of Christ. No, they do not know how the flesh and blood - we must not believe they have the taste of either, because that is what is called to believe as a Catholic. What you have to believe that the presence is real is what you receive in Holy Communion. They said the version of the Anglican Communion is more a part of his holy memorial service, but I am not knowledgeable enough to go into further details.
The other part is papal infallibility. This does not mean that every word the Pope is infallible. It refers to the infallibility of his relationship with the pronouncements on matters of doctrine. The reason for this is that in Roman Catholicism is appointed as the representative of God on earth. Peter the apostle was appointed by Jesus as the first and the Pope is his successor.

There is no difference! We serve the same God. God does not ask us what we went to church on earth?
Catholic means
John 3 vs 16 …. try.
CREDO DEUMA PATRIM OMNIPOTOTUM

Methodists are quite genuine Christians, Cof E is closer to C of E PLC and have lost their way, Catholics have lost the plot seriously, what the hell is a pope, Jesus said look guys I'm going to die, choose yourself a pope and the rest of you may be bruising, did not say when three or more are gathered have a bite to eat and a dropm alcohol and remember me. Certainly there is enough difference between Protestants and Catholics for a good piece

The Protestant church began when Luther and other like minded people protested against the Catholic Church prevailed.
Also known as the Reformed Church.
The Catholic Church teaches that ordinary people could only access to God through a priest - who carried out the service in America and not encourage people to read the Bible for themselves.
= Luther taught "Sola Scriptura" Scripture alone. In other words, do not accept the word of man - only trust the word of God revealed in the Bible.
Catholics have a set of beliefs which are not supported by scripture - like the veneration of Mary, transubstatiation (bread actually becomes the body of Jesus), the importance and infallibility of the Pope.
Many Protestant denominations have abandoned any pretense of belief in Scripture as authority. Many Anglican bishops in the West, for example, have very liberal views of sexuality, to deny the biblical creation, and so on.
But this should not be Surpise - the Bible tells us that all men are liars, and the devil deceives the whole world.

They differ in the nature of the Eucharist. The Pope is considered the successor of Peter and the primacy of Jesus came to the election from him. This is rejected by Protestants. The Catholic Church claims to have the whole truth about Jesus' mission and affirms the authority to teach without error. (Papal infallibility), also rejected by Protestants.
