Please someone tell me how the masons core belief that as long as you worship “the creator” you are included in their club is different that your ccc 841 which says the same and has been affirmed with a couple different popes?

The difference is that 841 is among the paragraphs addressing the Church and non-Christians and it begins with:

839 "Those who have not yet received the Gospel are related to the People of God in various ways."

That’s a nonsensical question since the Masons don’t have a core belief. It’s not a religion, it’s a fraternity. So to say the masons “believe” anything is a misunderstanding. It’s like asking what does a bowling league believe.

What the masons require of its members, however, is to believe in a supreme being and the immortality of the soul, and to be a person of good repute.
