... the Catholic Church is actually a communion of Churches. ...

Ok, but incomplete.  There are also several dozen Catholic Churches not in communion with Rome ...

The list is incomplete, and some of the categories may be wrong, but ... there they are.  And, of course, the Orthodox patriarchates all consider themselves to be fully Catholic ... so do the Anglicans ... and even Baptists consider themselves to be "The catholic or universal church."

I love to see the diversity of those who Biblically truly love God. I believe they are in ALmost every Christian group . . . perhaps in every Christian group.

Several dozen?

OK, there's the Orthodox church, yes...

But come on.... most of those churches you listed include less than 1,000 members! They were an excuse for a couple of bands of hippies to call themselves Catholic because they heard that there were still Catholic Churches that rejected the Pope. They'd probably be Orthodox, except they discovered that the Orthodox were more conservative than the Pope. Most of the churches would be extinct, by now, so they pretty much now mirror the beliefs of their only surviving members: Pot smoking, sexual liscentiousness, and lesbian priests.
