Correct, Christ's Church is the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, and was the only Church in existence for a thousand years, and took the name Universal Church after Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the empire. Catholic, meaning "Universal" from the Greek word êáèïëéêüò; (Katholicos-Spelling?).

Correct again, the Catholic Church was started in the year 37A.D. at Pentecost in the city of Jerusalem by our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is a liberal tactic to change the name of things, in order to blur their reality, but that still doesn't change their meanings, definitions, or factual base. Ex. Liberal --> Enemy Combatant /// Conservative --> Islamic Terrorist. Same thing, different names. Here, the Church of Christ is the Catholic Church, and no other.
Yes, through His Church.
What was the only church from 37A.D. - 1054A.D.?
Christ's Church
The first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which was the true Church and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ. The test was simple: Just trace the apostolic succession of the claimants.
Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops are part of a lineage that goes back to the time of the apostles, something that is impossible in Protestant denominations (most of which do not even claim to have bishops).
