It's the opposite (as far as I could find). Pronouncing "c" similar to "th" is only done in Spanish in Spain. In Catalan (as well as Latin/South American Spanish) all pronounce it like "s".

Castilian Spanish is the dominant dialect of Spanish in Spain.

Edit: A helpful map:

And that's the point, I believe. Catalan is not a dialect of Spanish.

Castilian and Catalan are two different things, I think the previous poster may have just misinterpreted the top level post which was not wrong about C being pronounced as the English TH.

There is no mention of catalan in my post because it wasn't about catalan. 🙃

Well that's awkward. My brain seems to have "autocorrected" Castilian to Catalan. I literally didn't notice until I reread it just now. My bad.
