All these religions fall under Christianity. Catholicism can be the center point of all religions and then each one branches off. Most are based on God and acceptance and repentance. The most common sacrament with these religions is baptism. The religions see this as one of many forms of cleanse/accepting of Christ.  Another common belief was how God was the highest authority in the religion. As for the scriptures, some followed the Bible, while other followed different scriptures such as Catholicism followed the 10 Commandments and the book of Concord.  Ways to achieve salvation were determined differently or not achieved at all. Anglicanism and Calvinism says that God chooses who is saved, while Catholicism and Ana-baptism rely on following the bible and scriptures. Lutheranism is the only religion that believed that salvation could not be achieved.

Life after Death:
Catholics believe God judges you and decided whether you get Eternal Salvation in Heaven or Eternal Damnation in Hell, before judgement day there is a temporal third state in purgatory

Confessing Sins:
Catholics believe you should confess to priests and Protestants say you should confess to directly to God.
Means of Salvation:
Catholics believe you receive salvation at baptism but it may be lost by sin and can be regained by faith and penance. You must confess your sins and have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Protestants believe that all you need is faith in Jesus Christ because he already sacrficed himself for us to go to heaven
Communion:
Catholics believe that during holy communion the bread and wine literally and physically turn into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
