Does the Catholic Church see some Christian groups as more heretical than others?
According to the Vatican website and other official Catholic sources, the Catholic church views all other Christian denominations except the Greek Orthodox, as heretical. However, are there different degrees of heresy? For example, does the Catholic church see Baptist as more heretical than Lutherans who are more heretical than Anglicans or is it a simple "yes/no" answer. Either you are a heretic or not.
No. With the exception of the Eastern Orthodox because originally they were one church. But it’s interesting that most Protestants still cling to some of the Roman Catholic Dogmas.
I should also mention that I was studying about the Ukraineian History and at one point part of the Ukrain Orthodox church tried to simulate back into the Roman Catholic Church. The new denomination became known as the Greek Catholic Church.

Yes they would see some as more heritical than others.
As an Orthodox Christian I see the catholics as heritical.

The Catholic Church sees some Christian groups as closer to the complete truth than others.
Only Catholics can be heretical to the Catholic Church.
Heresy is the obstinate denial after Baptism of a truth which must be believed with divine and Catholic faith. Only a Catholic (or former Catholic) can be a heretic to Catholicism.
This is similar to treason. A citizen of the U.S. can commit treason against the U.S. but not against France.
Most Non-Catholics Christians today have never been Catholic Christians so they cannot be heretics.
They are our brothers in Christ but separated a bit in faith.
With love in Christ.
