Sorry? Catalan is a language like Italian, Soumi, and Japanese, full stop.
Apart from that I thinkl you don't really know about catalan people nor nationalism. Nationalism is a far more complicated thing than what you pointed out.
It's usual that many no nationalists can't catch the sense of it. I'm not blaming you, it's just facts.
As for this nationalism usually means that culture and/or religion are different. Just take a look at Palestina. If they where the same there wouldn't be an open war.
Culture is a result from the history and Catalonia and Spain have different history and hence different cultures.

Totaly not true. A dialect can contain many words which don't exist in the motherlanguage.
There isn't a red line between dialect and language. If a dialect has new words it can be considered a language, too. Like in Valencian.
It depends on the government who decide if a dialect is a language or vice-versa. Of course if there are few daily used words and the rest is the same, there is no point in saying "that is a language". Though.
So many languages
