Why do Catholic people separate themselves from other Christian groups?

Everytime I can a Catholic person a Christian, they get offended. Aren't all people who worship Jesus Christians?

    Yes, they are. Your actual question may be either confusing, offensive, or too general. Catholics are Christians. St. Paul, St. Peter, St. Mark, and all the Saints are Christian.

    Of course Catholic are Christians, and all those I know (which is hundreds) realize that fact. Catholics were the only Christians on Earth for the first 1,000 years of Christianity, and the only Christians Jesus Christ even intended to exist.

    Because there are no other Christians. protestants - including orthodox - only pretend to be Christian. They were actually founded by satan.

    Nonsense.  Catholics know they're Christian.

    You have it exactly backward.  It is the Fundies that say Catholics aren't Christian not the catholics.  just look at some of the answers here.

    they disagree over the Traditions of men they learned, which makes void the Word of God/YHVH....it's a setup.....the divisions, protestant,cathlic etc, are, divide and conquer, the proof is in the disagreements, it's everywhere

    With religion the Absolute Rule is:

    My religion is the right one, and yours and everybody else’s, is wrong.

    Some Catholics want to make sure people know that they're not part of any heretical Protestant group.
