What can I say to my protestant friend when she calls herself a Christian and me a "Catholic?

[JenLD]

My protestant friend in casual conversation called herself a Christian and referred to me as a Catholic. I noticed after the 2nd or 3rd time but wasn’t sure how to correct her, whether to say somewhat helplessly “But I am a Christian too!” or to let it pass. What’s the best way to straighten this out in a friendly manner?
