We have a Russian Orthodox Church in our town. Is that the "same faith"? I've attended a couple of services there, and I like it very much. Very traditional, very conservative, and a very holy atmosphere.

No. The Orthodox Church does not recognize the pope. But both are working towards reconciliation.

Not surprised! The Orthodox have retained reverence in their liturgy.

Don't know where you live but you may want to check this link to see if there are any Easern Catholic Churches nearby. You will find the same level of reverence and respect and these churches are in full communion with the Magisterium.
