Use css to make it look nice, use li, ul etc.
If you want to insert that in page.php you can make a new template.
Create newpage.php and copy there what is in page.php
On top of newpage.php (first line) add this:
<?php /* Template Name: New Page */ ?>
Now when you want to create a new page and insert all that posts from categories -> Pages -> Add new page -> Page Attributes -> Template -> New Page
And you’re done. I hope you get it. Regards.

Great! Thank you! I know this is a newbie question, but how can I relate categories to category #’s or IDs?
Also, how can I add more than 1 category?

Ok, I found a plugin that does this.
How can I display the posts just like the blog?

Ok, I think I solved my problem with the following code I combined the blog page, a regular page, and your filter code:
