Without really getting into it, (as it can be a rather long and descriptive), the main differences are: Catholics believe in the virgin Mary, Protestants do not. Catholics pray to saints, Protestants do not. When it comes to scripture, Protestants sole and only source is The Bible. Catholics follow the bible, as well as Roman Catholic traditions.

Protestants do not approve or follow the Pope. Protestants believe that faith alone will grant you access to heaven. Catholics believe faith as well as good deeds on earth will send you to heaven.
