Registered voter?

I've come to realize I do not quite understand something about the US election system.

From time to time I hear the term Registered Democrat/Republican.
Does that mean that ahead of time you need to affiliate with a party to vote at all?
And does that mean you cannot vote for the other side?
Can you vote without registering as either one?

Here in the Netherlands, once you are 18+ during election time you just get a card delivered to your home address which you need to turn in with a legitimization and you can vote. Being a member of a political party is not needed to vote at all, nor to be called to vote.
