“Sorry but Christ is the savior not a denomination”

1) Christ is the Savior.
2) the Catholic Church is not a denomination. Protestants have denomination.
3) Christ, as the Savior, sent His Church, the Catholic Church, into the world to bring the forgiveness He won on the cross to all men (John 20:19-23). Thus, the Church is part and parcel of the way of salvation as established by the Savior.

Not sorry, thankful, salvation is through faith alone.

The Church sits on heavenly mount Sion, not in a dusty old city in Italy:

"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant. . ." (Heb 12:22-24)

There is no chain-of-command in the Church.

Where is the part that says we should call our church leader "Father?"
