There are 9 counties in Ulster, all of which would have Catholics, Protestants and people of other religions in them. None would be described as being particularly associated with any one religion.
Six counties were planted by King James: Donegal, Tyrone, Cavan, Derry, Armagh and Fermanagh.(Down and Antrim had been privately planted by Montgomery and Hamilton). Monaghan was the only county in Ulster not planted.
There is now no such thing as the free state. What you refer to would now be often called the Republic of Ireland. There are nine counties in Ulster. The six counties of Northern Ireland are Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh and Derry, with the three in the Republic of Ireland being Cavan, Monaghan and Donegal.
It is sometimes incorrectly referred to as Ulster. Ulster is a province of Ireland that includes the 6 counties of Northern Ireland, (Fermanagh, Antrim, Tyrone, Down, Armagh, Derry) and the counties of Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan which are in the Republic of Ireland.

This is not geographically corrrect as Donegal, one of the other 3 counties of Ulster that is not in Northern Ireland, contains the most northerly point on the island of Ireland.
