They are the same. Both Muslim's. Both follow Qur'an and Sunnah. Alhamdulilaah.

SUBHANALLAH, OUR RELIGION IS ISLAM, THERFORE WE ARE MUSLIMS, ANY NEW INVENTIONS THAT COME AFTER THE RASUL(PBH) ARE VERY VERY WRONG....
[PIE]Volumn 009, Book 088, Hadith Number 206.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman : The people used to ask Allah's Apostle about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So I said, "O Allah's Apostle! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I said, 'Will there be any good after that evil?" He replied, "Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)'' I asked, "What will be its taint?" He replied, "(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others." I asked, "Will there be any evil after that good?" He replied, "Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire." I said, "O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them to us?" He said, "They will be from our own people and will speak our language." I said, "What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?" He said, "Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler)." I said, "If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?" He said, "Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you are in that state."

There is no difference between Sunni and Salafi. Sunni refers to someone who follows the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, and Salafi refers to someone who follows Islam as it was understood by the companions and the early pious Muslims. Both mean the same thing. We should not use labels to divide us. We are all Muslims, and we follow Islam as it was revealed in the Qur'an by Allah, explained in the Sunnah by the Prophet Muhammad saws and as it was understood by the companions and the early Muslims.
Bro, you are confusing Salafi with La-madh-habi. It is the consensus of the Muslim scholars that it is permissable to follow a madh-hab so long as we do not make it a source of division.
