Crucifix vs Cross

When Protestants wear the Cross as jewelry or use it as a symbol in their churches, it is almost exclusively an empty cross. When Roman Catholics present the Cross, it is almost exclusively as the Crucifix, with Jesus nailed upon it. Both groups revere the Cross, but they view it differently. Protestants favor the empty Cross because of their strong theological emphasis on the Resurrection, while Roman Catholics stress Jesus' death as a substitutionary sacrificial atonement.
