Note to all:

The capitalization of the word “Catholic” is from the website. It is not my doing. (Just doing a copy and paste.)

For comparison purposes, here’s the version I learned as a youth in a Presbyterian church. I still stumble when I run across a modernized version:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.

Comparing our modern version to your version of the Apostle’s Creed, the key differences seem to be ‘conceived by the Holy Spirit’ rather than ‘by the power of...’; our ‘rose again from the dead’ rather than ‘rose again’; our ‘From there he will come to judge...’ rather than ‘He will come again...’; and, of course, the lower case ‘c’.
