Evidence is ANY of his teachings on the “christian life” or those things you should do to prove you are “saved”.

Tho, by your self-description, you likely won’t see it.
Yes...there is only one Holy doctrine of the church universal.
Extracted directly from Scripture.
And maintained from the apostles to the church fathers into today.
See, in the beginning, there was only one church.
Still is today.
Some have chosen to revel in their heterodoxy and call themselves the church.
The church is the assembly of believers, not a denominational label.
It is your choice to accept Holy doctrine, reject it or stick your thumb in God’s eye and tell Him you know better.

Augustine of Hippo understood that salvation is through Faith /only/ and no amount of good works, “christian” living or just being nice to others would put you in good stead with God.
Seeking to do good works or following tradition won’t earn your salvation...and neither will it prove your salvation.
Sola fide

Absolutely! Good works will be a result of your faith.

James 2: 14What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

MacArthur does not tech salvation by works, he teaches that life lived by faith is evidenced by good works.

1Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.” 3And He answered and said to them, “Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4“For God said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,’ and, ‘HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH.’ 5“But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God,” 6he is not to honor his father or his mother.’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition.

The idea that there is an unbroken line of succession from Peter to the latest Antichrist pope is laughable. (can you say Medici?) The Medici's bought the papacy.

You think that any church that isn't under the authority of Rome is heretical. That is is more indictment than anything I could say.
