I have read some of the posts here and they are extreme in many ways
I am pentecostal, I was raised a catholic but found Christ in later life. Pentecostals are first and foremost born again, spirit filled Christians, what might be called charismatics in the Catholic Church but who adhere to a specific set of doctrines which include immersion believer's baptism, saved by grace, authority of the Bible. Pentecostals may observe some special days, Christmas, Easter, but generally would not recognise the literagical calendar followed by the Catholics. Generally Pentecostals recognise two sacraments Baptism and Communion but don't believe in the transubstantiation taught by the Catholic Church. Pentecostals believe themselves to be saints as indicated in the Bible and many have an expectation of signs and wonders in everyday life. (healings, divine provision, prophecy, falling under the power of God, communication with God) Pentecostalism basically arose following the Azuza Street outpouring in the early twentieth century. Some Pentecostal churches have rules regarding dress, etc so if you want to know what this person believes why don't you ask him. you may address specific questions to me and I will try to answer them
