Will their church collapse ? Will it be rebuilt with only good guys, like the US ?

Is purgatory the only difference you see? What about the worship of Mary, the apostles and angels?
Revelation 22:8-9 NKJV Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. [9] Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God."
No there's certainly other differences --Mary, the Eucharist, etc.. Just going with the one you mention ("the worship of Mary"), the two sides sometimes seem to be speaking past each other. Catholic/Orthodox doctrine holds that one should venerate Mary, but not worship. Protestants perceive it as worship, but Catholics perceive it as veneration.
But the bigger question that looms is: what is our criteria for what counts as scriptural and what is not scriptural?
There doesn't seem to be a simple answer to that sort of question.
