Catholicism vs. protestantism?

Catholics believe the basic Christian things, like Jesus was God's son and he was God. He came to save us from our sins. God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit: Catholics in the same God, Son, and the Holy Spirit that other Christian churches do. The next three beliefs are found only in Catholic church, not Protestant: Catholics pray to God, but they also request that Saints pray for them too. Sometimes people see the way the revere saints and think Catholics actually worship the saints. That's not true. But, they believe that Saints are in the presence of God and pray for people on earth. Jesus' mom gets a place of reverence and devotion. She's just a little lower than Jesus and just a little higher than the saints. Immaculate conception: It's the belief that Jesus' mother was sinless at her conception, because Jesus couldn't be born from a sinful women.
