What they call Judaism today is like Protestantism, all divided, no hierarchy, no creeds, no priesthood lineage.

This is an apple.

The only faith in the world with lineage of priesthood, and unity of hierarchy, and continously kept creeds, doctrines, and history, is the Catholic Church".

This is an orange. (Assuming this is even true)

Wanna see what it might look like if you compared apples to apples?

What they call Judaism today is like Protestantism, all divided, no hierarchy, no creeds, no priesthood lineage.

This is an apple.

What they call Christianity today is like Judaism, all divided, no hierarchy, differing creeds, no priesthood lineage.

This is apple.

You're right. We are on different pages. I believe in logical integrity, and you (who I will remind you, writes for Catholics), are willing to forego that.

Yes, you concluded right, your “apples” are the same, that’s because they are both false religions all divided, no hierarchy, no creeds, no priesthood lineage. Just like all the other false religions of the world. There is only one true religion, the Catholic faith.

CHRISTIAN. A name first given to the followers of our Lord at Antioch (Acts xi, 26). Since the rise of Protestantism the name has been used in so many different senses as to have become almost meaningless: it may indicate a Catholic or a Unitarian, or even be applied to an infidel who displays some virtue which is associated with Christ. It may reasonably be applied to the members of all the ancient churches whether in communion with the Holy See or not, and to those Protestants who profess, explicitly -or implicitly, the Nicean creed in its traditional Interpretation. The Church puts no definite official rneaning on the word, as she does on Catholic. (Catholic Dictionary, Donald Attwater, 1958, TAN Books)
