>> in what was for centuries one of the strongest factors of division, the Protestant conviction that salvation is obtained “sola fide” while for Catholics faith must be accompanied by works, the pendulum has swung in favor of the latter. Almost everywhere, that is, even among Protestants the majority think that faith and works are both necessary. The only exception is the Norwegian Protestants, among whom “sola fide” prevails with 51 percent against 30. <<

Well great news for American "evangelicals" screaming that faith + works is "unbiblical" -- you still got Norway on your side!

While. Any will concentrate on the catholic - versus - Protestant question, I remain absolutely staggered by the huge percentages of non-believers. Christianity as a whole appears to be failing —?

In the United States, 65 percent of Catholics and 57 percent of Protestants say they are convinced that between their respective faiths the similarities far outweigh the differences

Well, what did The Boss say about this?

Currently, there are exactly as many saved Christians in the world as God wants there to be.

It is a poorly worded question. When we are in a world that is attempting to enforce acceptance of the most basic natural laws (e.g. thou shalt not commit sodomy, though shalt not kill babies, children should primarily be raised by parents), believing Catholics have a LOT more in common than believing Protestants than with the secular-minded. Different people will weigh different factors differently irrespective of how seriously they practice their beliefs.
