Catholicism is bound to differ from the countless other religions in the world in countless ways. It’s a hard question to answer, because some religions will be so dissimilar that the list of differences will be very long indeed; if we were to take Hinduism for example, it would be much easier and clearer to merely describe Catholicism and Hinduism separately than to describe one by its differences with the other. It may be possible to compare various elements of different religions with each other, but you won’t get a very useful picture of any religion by basing every part of your understanding on another religion.
I am not a Catholic theologian, but I can point to the papal encyclical “Quanto Conficiamur Moerore” of at least one concrete example that Catholics allow for the possibility of salvation for those outside their faith: “There are, of course, those who are struggling with invincible ignorance about our most holy religion. Sincerely observing the natural law and its precepts inscribed by God on all hearts and ready to obey God, they live honest lives and are able to attain eternal life by the efficacious virtue of divine light and grace.”
I am more than certain that there are many statements such as this in the authoritative literature of Catholicism; if I knew my way around the Catechism better, I would expect to find such a statement there.

It may be easier to compare and contrast Catholicism with other religions if you narrowed it down to a particular religion that you had in mind. *Catholicism vs all other religions * is rather broad.

The Catholic Church is different from all the other religions because she is the body of Jesus Christ. She is the only one that offers a perfect sacrifice to God from the four corners of the earth, the Catholic Church offers a pure offering, and proclaims the name of the Lord from every tongue and nation, from the rising of the sun even to its setting.The Catholic Church proclaims the greatness of the Lords name among the nations in the Eucharist (please see the prophet Malachi 1:11).
This sacrifice and offering in the daily Catholic Mass around the globe, surpasses both the Jewish which do not offer a pure sacrifice of body and blood to God, and non catholics who do not have a sacrifice to offer God in the form of the body, blood daily from the rising of the sun to its setting. Only the Catholic Church Mass suffices the biblical Law and the prophets, this is the fundamental difference from the Catholic Church and other religions.
No one can enter heaven only through Jesus Christ.
John 6:51 I am the living bread from heaven, whoever its this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.
vs.53 Amen, Amen I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. vs 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.
Catholics eat and drink the body, blood of Jesus Christ at every Mass from the sun up to its setting because we are partakers of Jesus divinity. No other religion can make this claim and practice it except the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
