Roman Catholic, RC and Latin Catholic all name the same Church — the Latin Church, which follows the Roman Rite. In Kerala it is the coastal community from Thiruvananthapuram to Kannur, and this is where its families search.
Yes. The Latin Church follows the Roman Rite, so Roman Catholic, RC and Latin Catholic are three names for one Church. Kerala says Latin Catholic or RC; the rest of India says Roman Catholic. Register under Latin Catholic and you are in the right place.
If your family is from the Kerala coast — Thiruvananthapuram, Alleppey, Kollam, Cochin, Kottapuram, Calicut, Kannur — you are almost certainly Latin Catholic, which is what “Roman Catholic” and “RC” mean here. Register under Latin Catholic.
If your family belongs to a Syro-Malabar eparchy — Pala, Changanacherry, Thrissur, Ernakulam-Angamaly and the rest — you are Catholic and in communion with Rome, but you are not of the Latin Church. Many families still say “Roman Catholic” meaning “Catholic”, and it is the commonest mix-up we see. Register under Syro-Malabar, or the search will show you the wrong families.
It matters more than a label. Rite decides the liturgy a couple will raise a family in, and most families searching here are searching within their own.

Yes. The Latin Church follows the Roman Rite, so "Roman Catholic" and "Latin Catholic" name the same Church. In Kerala the community calls itself Latin Catholic, or RC for short; across the rest of India and in the diaspora, Roman Catholic is the usual term. On Jesus Choice Matrimonial the rite is recorded as Latin Catholic.
You are a Catholic in full communion with Rome, but you are not of the Latin Church. Syro-Malabar is an Eastern Catholic Church with its own liturgy, the East Syriac Holy Qurbana, and its own eparchies. If your family belongs to a Syro-Malabar eparchy, choose Syro-Malabar when you register — searching the Latin rite will not show you the families you want.
RC is the abbreviation used in Kerala classifieds for Roman Catholic, meaning a Latin Catholic family. You will also see RC Christian, and occasionally Roman Rite. All three mean the Latin Church.
