Remember, his background is New York City. Making a distinction between Catholics and "Christians" (meaning certain varieties of, shall we say, "religiously correct" Protestants) is not something you readily pick up in that environment (although with Fred Trump as a father, I guess anything is possible).

That distinction is a lot more prominent in heavily Protestant fundamentalist/evangelical areas, where anti-Catholic propaganda that may as well come from the 1500s is part of the landscape.

Whoever wrote that for Trump worded it -- either by reflex or in an attempt to cater to certain parties -- to take the radical evangelical position. Catholics were "on the same team" by being mentioned at all.
