I bet she is PROTESTANT too. But this site only mentions when people are Jewish or Roman Catholic.
The reason Judaism is mentioned is because unlike other religions, is because Judaism is rooted in a shared ethnic heritage. As is such, when there’s converts, it’s worth noting because people often conflate the religion with the people/heritage/ethnicity, so a distinction is made on the individual pages to make the profiles more accurate.
Honestly though, I don’t tend to notice when profiles mention Catholicism.

She looks very German, like Hilary Swank.
She looks entirely English.
