Tony has a good approach in his explanation.
Know that yes, the two guitars are only different in their expression (mellow vs. bright and loud) of the music that you play and the finger styles can be relative and quite useful, if not enjoyable, as you will later discover.
Classical guitar is great to start out with and gives you the physical exercise and experience every player should learn with over time. Many who have started out with a classical (myself included) go on to conquer other guitars and playing styles with ease, and ways of style in playing others would yet to learn or have more trouble getting it down.
Finger style for the standard dreadnoughts has its roots in banjo playing as well. It is referred to as the folk and traditional styles. But once you have the ability to patterns (cross picking) and sequence (timing) of a classical player, it will transfer well to any guitar and certainly enhance playing any music you can come up with.
The term "classical guitar" can mean three different nt things: the instrument, the repertoire or the technique.
Basically, a guitar is a guitar – tuning, scales, chords etc. etc. are all exactly the same. Also, something that can be played on one type of guitar can be played on any other type (although, obviously, it might sound best on the type of guitar it was meant to be played on). If you really are learning classical guitar technique (which tends to be very proscriptive) you might find that some of it doesn’t really work on a steel string guitar, keeping your thumb on the back of the neck, playing with nails, posture etc. might all need to be altered to suit a different type of guitar. Think about piano and electric organ: they are the same in many ways but different in others.

I play classical guitar, I play fingerstyle on a steel-strung guitar, and I flat-pick a steel-strung guitar, so it’s quite possible. The fact that the fingerboard width and, therefore, the spacing between strings is a bit different between nylon-strung and steel-strung guitars (a classical or flamenco guitar’s fingerboard is typically about 6 mm wider than a steel-strung guitar’s, except, of course, for 12-string guitars) is a small issue, but only a small one.
I’ll just add that the thing that most improved my flat-picking of fiddle tunes on a steel-strung guitar was practicing classical guitar – it really improved my left hand.
