All Catholics are Christians. But not all Christians are Catholic ;)
Think of Christianity as a big country and the different denominations as states. There's Catholic, Baptist, Seventh Day Adventist, Anglican and on and on and on and on.
Like all Californians are American, but not all Americans are Californians!
You'll hear some crabby people going around saying Catholics aren't Christian because they don't like what the Catholics believe. So it can be confusing.
The only people who believe that Catholics aren't Christians are the ones who have no idea of the definition of Christianity.
Just because someone doesn't agree with a faith doesn't mean that we can disown them. I believe that the Westboro Church is a Christian church by definition, but I sure distance myself from them.
edit: Hello Red Queen. I've been quite busy. Good to see you again!If Catholics are not Christians, then why do Christian bookstores stock Catholic Bibles?

See definition 1a. Anyone who says catholics aren't Christians doesn't know what they're talking about.
Good question,not very many bible Christians had an answer though, Matthew`s answer is typical of evangelicals in that whenever they have no logical answer they throw in a biased cliche and leave it hanging in the air!If Catholics are not Christians, then why do Christian bookstores stock Catholic Bibles?
The primary requirement to be a christian church is belief in the trinity which the catholic do (in fact it was introduced by the catholic church).
Because Catholicism is the Original Christianity.
EDIT: Notice how Matthew's answer, like all fundies, fails completely to address the question.
I'm with the school of thought that anyone who believes in Christ is a Christian. But they are all forced to buy Catholic bibles by the Evil Catholic Conspiricists... LOL
I just love conspiricies...
a christian is someone that believes in christ. catholics believe in christ. therefore catholics are christians.
If Catholics are not Christians, then why did Christian;s copy Catholic Bibles and call
them teir own
Roman Catholicism is not Christianity
Are Catholics Christian how incredibly stupid that remark is. It would better be phrased are Protestants Christian. Which will lead to some incredibly stupid postings of I’m not Protestant I’m a Saved Believer.
For this type person refer to the Dictionary Under Protestant. First off there is Only one type Of Christian and they would be Catholic ..
You see way back in the time of the Apostles their was this Catholic by the Name of Evodius And this Man was the first Bishop of Antioch a Catholic, He was ordained and taught by Peter and the rest of the Apostles and he is credited with being the first person to call the followers of Christ, "Christians", as shown in Acts 11:26. See Eusebius, book 3, chapter 22.
He was then followed thru Aposolic succession by this man Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D..
In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"... He also was Taught by The Apostles…
Now as you Can see the word itself is a catholic word their were no so called Protestants around at the time… In Fact when the Bible was canonized it was done by the Catholic church….
At the Time the New testimate was written their was only One Church The Catholic Church
I write these things to thee hoping to come to thee shortly, but in order that thou mayest know, if I am delayed, how to conduct thyself in the house of GOD, which is the Church of the Living GOD, the pillar and mainstay of the truth." 1Tim 3:14-15
the Bible came from the Church, and that the Church did not come from the Bible. The Catholic Church is the Mother of the Bible, not the Daughter.
THE BIBLE IS A CATHOLIC BOOK. Compiled by Catholic’s For Catholics
The Word Bible is also a Catholic Word The Holy Scriptures were first called the Bible by St. Chrysostom, the Catholic Archbishop of Constantinople, in the 4th century.
For those who deny that the Bible is a Catholic Book, the founder of Protestantism,
Martin Luther, concurred that the Bible is indeed a Catholic Book.
He had this to say:
"We are compelled to concede to the Papists that they have the Word of GOD, that we received it from them, and that without them, we should have no knowledge of it at all."
Martin Luther, commentary on St. John.
Christ solemnly pledged that the gates of Hell would never prevail against His Church (Matt. 16:18), and He solemnly promised that after His Ascension into Heaven He would send His Church ``another Paraclete . . . the spirit of truth,'' to dwell with it forever (John 14:16-17), and He inspired the Apostle Paul to describe His Church as ``the pillar and ground of the truth.'' (I Tim. 3:15). If the Catholic Church (which Protestants admit was the true Church of Jesus Christ before Luther's revolt) became doctrinally corrupt as alleged, it would mean that the gates of Hell had prevailed against it--it would mean that Christ had deceived His followers. Believing Christ to be the very essence of truth and integrity, Catholics cannot see how the division of Christianity into hundreds of rival camps and doctrinal variations can be called a ``reformation'' of the Christian Church. In the Catholic mind, hundreds of conflicting interpretations of Christ's teachings do not add up to a true interpretation of Christ's teachings…
So that Leads to this these so called Christians aren’t Christians The Best you could call them are believers..
How could you be a Christian and reject Christian Teaching..
Protestantism, in all essential elements, merely borrows wholesale from Catholic Tradition, or distorts the same. All doctrines upon which Catholics and Protestants agree, are clearly Catholic in origin (Holy Trinity, virgin birth, Jesus' Resurrection, second coming, canon of the Bible, heaven, hell, etc.). Those where Protestantism differs are usually distortions of Catholic forerunners. For example, Quakerism is a variant of Catholic Quietism. Calvinism is an over-obsession with the Catholic idea of the sovereignty of God, but taken to lengths beyond what Catholicism ever taught (denial of free will, total depravity, double predestination, etc.). Protestant dichotomies such as faith vs. works, come from the nominalism of the late Middle Ages, which was itself a corrupt form of Scholasticism, never dogmatically sanctioned by the Catholic Church. Whatever life or truth is present in each Protestant idea, always is derived from Catholicism, which is the fulfillment of the deepest and best aspirations within Protestantism.
One of Protestantism's foundational principles is sola Scriptura, which is neither biblical (see below), historical (nonexistent until the 16th century), nor logical (it's self-defeating) idea
