If you put the creeds down in front of both, they could both say they agreed. The Baptist confession of faith, though worded differently, would be pretty identical to the one used by Catholics. The differences arise from the fact that Catholics regard the Bible, the Writings of the Church Fathers, and the Traditions (inc Papal Bulls) as of equal value. Baptists, like other Protestants, would say that the Bible, as the Word of God, has precedence over other teachings, especially if those teachings contradict what is taught in the Bible.eg Christ is the head of the church in the bible, not the pope; the bible teaches that salvation is by faith through grace; the catholic church teaches that following church ritual is part of salvation. Baptist services are very simple in structure, more like what we know of New Testament services. There are no priests, only pastors ("shepherds")and the members have a strong say in how things run.
