I think that's not something you can be certain of, I mean they did slaughter Robb's army as well which took a whole lot of Frey people to accomplish. Your argument that Catelyn killing Frey's in vengeance is equal to all that Cersei has done is just weak and unconvincing. Frey's violated guest rights which the gods hate (see the Rat Cook story), and they killed Catelyn, her son and her family and friends after inviting them in and eating with them. They are doomed and Lady Stoneheart is justified in killing them all.
Cersei on the other hand will use or kill anyone to get whatever she wants with no other justification. Like when she tricks that poor lady and husband into turning on Bronn, and when Bronn kills the husband and the lady comes back to Cersei for help, she turns her over to Qyburn to silence her. Cersei is one of the most purely bad people in the whole series, Catelyn...not so much. Not saying Catelyn is without faults or bad traits, but it is not even close to Cersei, and you saying it over and over again doesn't make it a good argument.
If you are trying to say Catelyn is not so wonderful, then fine, we agree on that point, but when you act like she is equal to Cersei, you just lose all credibility.
