You believe that it is just as I believe that the Holy Spirit indwells me, and interestingly enough, both statements use the same evidence, the Word, the church and experience

No. Our liturgy is unchanged form the 4th century. We worship the same was as the Church did in the 4th century. And we teach the same doctrine that Church taught. We are the same Church doctrinally and worship-wise as the Church that canonized the Bible. These are facts. Your indwelling spirit could be the HS or demons or just pure voices of insanity. Two different hings. One is objective the other is subjective.

“One is objective the other is subjective.”

You are still relying on what someone else believed to be true. You don’t have the same documents that the 1st century had, nor do your priest have the same garments, nor did the 1st century church have the relics you use, nor the commentaries you use, nor do you know that the liturgy you use was used in the 1st century church. You are relying by faith that what your church heirarchy and history is telling you is the truth. You weren’t there when the early church started so you are using reason, probability, that what you believe is true.
