Sorry, but this "people's church" ecclesiology makes no sense. Nicaea-Constantinople confesses a "catholic and apostolic Church" (Καθολικὴν καὶ Ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν). Do we have to have an argument about what the meaning of "is" is?

Ekklesia means gathering of the faithful, not the magisterium. Catholic and apostolic Church simply means followers of correct Chirstian teaching, as passed on by the apostles, everywhere.

“Sorry, but this “people’s church” ecclesiology makes no sense.”
No, it doesn’t. That’s not Orthodoxy. Nor is Orthodox ecclesiology a feudalistic creation of the Franks.
