Personally I think that they have two different meanings - I would take 'slut' to be a very derogatory term for a woman that frequently has sex but doesn't take money (or reward) for sex. I would consider 'whore' a more common derogatory term for a prostitute.

I didn't take offense. There are worse things out there that asking an honest question and using a term that some people might find offensive. :-)
