I read that link...but that simply states similar to Protestants who might follow ‘Calvins’ teachings..or ‘Luthers’...or others of the Protestant faiths. They are simply seperate names meaning differeing lines of faith in what they practice.
Again Catholics just names them differently but they still point to denomination differences.. yet centered in what each church parish adheres to in those rites. It still remains as well, church centered.
There certainly is a universal unity of believers in Christ...with Christ as the head...just as there was after Penticost...and later on we read in Revelations.... These churches were united by the spirit of Christ...with Christ as head, just as many Protestant and Independant Churches are today.
But in the Catholic churches it does seem to be more about either or submitting to Rome...or just on the fringe of that. So would the Catholic church members survive without the priests, rites and Rome?.... Whereas I do believe any Protestant members would surely survive without a church or the leadership within each as their memberships are a reflection of Christ to the world.. and that light is not dependant on an institute or it’s leadership rather in the person of Jesus Christ.
well said.
