That is totally incorrect. All I am saying is that much of Protestantism is based on the presumption that the Church was WRONG for 1500 years.
As anyone can see by reading the Bible, much of the church at Rome was wrong for centuries.
The WESTMINSTER CONFESSION OF FAITH reminds us concerning the church that there will always be a remnant, sometimes more visible, sometimes less...
V. The purest Churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error;[10] and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan.[11] Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to His will.[12] IV. This catholic Church has been sometimes more, sometimes less visible.[8] And particular Churches, which are members thereof, are more or less pure, according as the doctrine of the Gospel is taught and embraced, ordinances administered, and public worship performed more or less purely in them.[9]
