Well a Catholic is a certain type of Christian( a sect or denomination of Christianity). If you're catholic, you're Catholic. if you really wanna learn more just check wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church

There are different types of Catholics. Most Catholics are Roman Catholic, which is what I am. But in some countries like Russia there are Byzantine Catholics, and in Lebanon there are Maronite Catholics. They are all pretty much the same but they have different rituals.
