I would propose that the most accurate differentiations would be to use "catholic" and "Catholic" as opposed to "Catholic" and "Roman Catholic" as you described.

Seem like more RC usurpation of the language.

How about "christian" for Roman Catholics" and "Christian" for Protestants?

Hardly, though I did give justification for my terms. Besides, I can't force you to use it.

On what grounds? Catholics and Protestants consider each other to be Christian.
