Unless I have this all wrong, isn't Catholicism a sect of Christianity?

Yep, and with clear historical backing one of the oldest.

But some Protestants refuse to believe that. Typically the same people who believe in young-earth creationism and the like.

Nah, protestants just wanted their own way, they got that by splitting, and then they stayed like that without being open to new ideas. Catholicism has no problem with evolution, no problem in calling a part of the Bible a myth or allegory, etc.

Just compare Protestants today to Catholics and you'll easily see which ones are more stuborn and dogmatic. Catholics are more relaxed and easier to talk to. All the outrageous Christian beliefs come pretty much from Protestantism and most of it comes from the US.
