Then by the same respect, schismatics and heretics have separated from the Protestant Church. So there!

No, there is no "Protestant Church". There are only thousands of Protestant denominations and individuals, and they all started after 1517 AD. The Catholic Church was founded in 33 AD by Christ Himself.

The church of Christ is those who have Him as their Savior.

Indeed. But Christ's one and only Church subsists in the Catholic Church.

. Man tends to organize Himself into people of like mind with Himself - but the true CHURCH is not an organization

That's gnosticism.

but rather is a living breathing organism.

Yes! Do you think an organism is just a scattered collection or heap of individuals?? No. It is an organization, indeed the epitome of organization.

Upon what do you base your belief that the Catholic church was founded by Christ in 33 AD?

And, NO. That is NOT Gnosticism. Grow up.

As an organism, we are part of Christ's body. Christ's body is NOT an organization but an organism. Otherwise, you are saying Christ allowed his body to be polluted by all of the SSOEAs throughout history. Popes with illegitimate children. Priests having sex with children. Popes having orgies in the vatican. Anti-popes.

The church of Christ is ALL BELIEVERS. Regardless if they are in a Catholic church structure, Baptist, Methodist, Presybterian. If one believes in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, then one is a part of His body.

What is your basis to say otherwise?
