Avi, I'm Italian. However I don't see any difference between the 
pronunciation of the word credo in Latin and Italian, here in Italy.

Although the usual pronunciation of "h" between two identical 
vocals (e.g. in "mihi") is considering the "h" as silent and doubling 
the vocal, somebody pronounces "h" as "k". This pronunciation is also 
sometimes used in religious hymns.
