The communion of saints is the Church. Agreed, but to be a saint means to be sanctified. Which we are in Christ Jesus. Sanctified means "set apart". It isn't only those whom the Roman Catholic Church deems so. All true Christians are part of Christ's body not just those who are members of the church of Rome.
BTW...you do know Peter said the Lord Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of the church, not himself. I Peter 2:4-6

What for you is a "true" Christian? Would you include Westboro Baptist Church members? What about The Church of Latter Day Saints? Branch Davidians? Peoples Temple? Where do you draw the line?

Jesus is the cornerstone, yes. And Peter (Kepha) is the rock (Kepha) upon which it is built. The cornerstone of a building and its foundation are distinct aspects of the building's structure. The Bible doesn't contradict itself.
God bless.
