relationship through different religions

I wanted some opinions on being in a relationship when you are different religions. My situation is Catholic and Baptist. Not HUGE differences, but there are some glaring contrasts.
Has anyone else been in a relationship where different religions where involved? What's the furthest you've taken it? How do you compromise? What about raising a family?
Just some things I've been discussing and wanted some outside opinions.

On a day to day basis, I think about religion zero times. Thus, I have no problems and won't have any when raising a family. I can't even fathom letting something as insignificant as religion affect the way I raise my family.....THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN ANYONES LIFE.

If you ever get married, you will quickly learn to agree to disagree. Same thing here.

You are not different religions. You belong to different denominations.
My wife was Presbyterian, and I am Catholic. She had attended Catholic schools her whole life so it wasn't a huge stretch for her when we were dating. A few years after getting married she converted.
She isn't a diehard catholic, and still struggles with a lot of little thinks like the idea of holy days of obligation and lenten fasting. At the end of the day, she was mostly indifferent about what type of church she went to. We felt it was best for our family to all go to the same place.

what does your pope say to do? He's god's vicar, after all.

If you're truly devout in your Faith, then how do you compromise?
If your religion is just more of your cultural identity than anything else, then knock yourself out.

Raise kids in both, that way you'll have your bases covered when one of you goes to Hell.

something as insignificant as religion
This has nothing to do with believing in God, but just because something isn't important to you doesn't make it insignificant. Religion and faith are extremely important to a lot of people in this world. It has a huge impact on the decisions people make, and numerous countries are ruled under religious law.
Something that wars have been fought over is not "insignificant."

You just have to realize all religions are generally the same thing and be willing to compromise.

most of the time among folks that I know, one ultimately converts to the religion of the other...

Not worth it.
Catholics believe faith is shown through their actions.
Baptists just think they can say anything and they are totally right with g-d.
Also, evangelical baptists have it totally wrong about telling people about their faith. They think people actually want to hear their stories about "finding their personal relationship with jesus ." It's tedious.

My grandparents were almost married 60 years before my paw paw passed away first. He was Baptist, she was Catholic. They were married back when that was a big deal, they even had a hard time finding someone to marry them. Their kids were raised Catholic. However...both held to their separate faiths. Grandmaw went to mass every Sunday and sang in the choir, paw paw went to his lil Baptist church every Sunday....getting to service early to sit in the back and quietly read his Bible and pray. They both loved the Lord with all their hearts...just in different ways. Doesn't matter one was Catholic, one Baptist...they are both in the same place now

My Dad is Methodist... My Mom is Serbian Orthodox.
They eloped.
I've been baptized by three different grandparents.
ETA:
My Grandmother still celebrates holidays "by the old Calendar"... So Christmas for our family is on the 25th... and January 7th.
