I heard an exorcist say the other day that all demons are satans but that Satan with a big S is called Lucifer. I would like too know where we got this name from? Is it correct too call him that? Because i heard that the title really belongs to Nebuchadnezzar?
 
Exorcists like Fr. Gabrielle Amorth, Fr. Malachi Martin and Fr. James Lebar were all convinced that Satan and Lucifer were distinct demons.

This is also true of Belial, Beelzebub and some of the other Biblical names. Each one is different.

“Satan” in the Middle East means “the accuser” or “the adversary”. (So when the U.S. is called “the Great Satan” in the news, they aren’t being quite as accurate as they could be when it comes to translations.)

According to Fr. Martin. Lucifer is the demon with the big vision so to speak. His plans stretch out over great periods of time and he as “the light bearer” basically pretends he’s God. His symbol is the Scorpion.

Satan is the more direct “hands on” executor of the plans that make up Lucifer’s 'big plan" leading to Anti-Christ.

It’s interesting and since the Exorcists are generally consistent, it’s not implausible doctrinally.

Just leave a little bit of room for possible clarifications on a magisterial level in case the Exorcists were wrong or fooled by demons in some of that information.
 
so basically Lucifer and Satan are different entities with different roles?? so which one would be abadon (hebrew) appolyon (greek) from the revelation of john or is that demon also a seperate entity?

This is all not set in stone in any way, so I don’t want to state anything emphatically as fact. But the various Exorcists all seem to come to the same basic idea. The balance of opinions seems to be that they are all separate and distinct.

And the Catholic Encyclopedia seems to agree as well. I looked up Abaddon and it says,

“ruin, destruction (Job 31:12); place of destruction; the Abyss, realm of the dead (Job 26:6; Proverbs 15:11);
it occurs personified (Apocalypse 9:11) as Abaddon and is rendered in Greek by Apollyon, denoting the angel-prince of hell, the minister of death and author of havoc on earth. The Vulgate renders the Greek Apollyon by the Latin Exterminans (that is, “Destroyer”). The identity of Abaddon with Asmodeus, the demon of impurity, has been asserted, but not proved.”
