Yes, Catholicism is Christianity, though it's not the oldest version, as Billy stated, just the oldest one that most people are aware of. One could say that it is the oldest of Christian sects originating in Europe.
Of course you can join pagan beliefs with Christian ones. Just look at Christmas and Easter...they're rife with pagan symbolism.
No heaven? Doubtful. Jesus speaks of heaven frequently in every translation I've ever seen. Hell, on the other hand, is a different matter.
