Coining the word catholic

and the church of the first century, 2nd century and 3rd century all being

100% equal to, identical with

the politically established ROMAN EDIFICE

is a much bigger stretch than my understanding of history is able or willing to make.

Well, obviously the Church evolved from council to council, but it was always eucharistic and hierachical — that is, Catholic in the modern sense.
