They both believe that the fall of humanity was the disobedience of Adam and Eve when they ate the forbidden fruit. They believe in Heaven and hell, and the ten commandments.

That difference being the Messiah, the man Jesus Christ, and our salvation from sin.

The word Christianity* originated around the year 1300 and evolved from old french word “Crestienté. “Christians as a whole¨ is its literal definition (Harper 1). It is common Christian belief that God sent his one and only son, Jesus, to be born of the Virgin Mary and deliver His message to the world.
