Roman Catholics compared to Polish-speakers and Lithuanian & Samogitian speakers according to 1897 Russian census:
Gov. - Rom. Cath. / Poles / Lith.-Samog. (numbers in thousand people):
Kovno Gov. - 1187 / 140 / 1020 ---- who were the remaining 27 thousand?
Vilna Gov. - 936 / 130 / 280 ---- who were the remaining 526 thousand?
Grodno Gov. - 385 / 162 / 4 ---- who were the remaining 219 thousand?
Vitebsk Gov. - 358 / 50 ---- who were the remaining 308 thousand? (in this case probably many of them Latvians - see below*)
Volhynia Gov. - 297 / 184 ---- who were the remaining 113 thousand?
Podolia Gov. - 263 / 69 ---- who were the remaining 194 thousand?
Minsk Gov. - 220 / 65 ---- who were the remaining 155 thousand?
Kiev Gov. - 110 / 69 ---- who were the remaining 41 thousand?
Mogilev Gov. - 52 / 17 ---- who were the remaining 35 thousand?
*Latvians are mostly Lutherans but in eastern Latvia there are Roman Catholic ones.
It is obvious that 1897 census falsified - understated - number of Poles. There are detailed studies which also came to this conclusion.
Roman Catholic East Slavs are not so numerous !!! Not even Belarusians.
Today there are some Roman Catholic Belarusians but they are mostly Belarusianized (after 1939) Poles, not "real" Belarusians.

Warsaw is in Mazovia. Mazovians = ethnic Poles.
Actually most of Poles who settled in Lithuania and Belarus were Mazovians.
For a very long time most of Russia was not part of the Muscovite realm, by the way.
