I was raised Catholic and we always (and still say) "trespassers/those who
trespass against us"):

Our Father who art in heaven
hallowed by thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
and deliver us from evil

Amen


I was never taught to say the last part that Protestants do, which is what
i was told was the only difference.
