We’re all “catholic,” if we’re members of Christ’s Church. Catholic simply mean universal, the entire body of those whom the Lord has adopted into His family.
There weren’t any Roman Catholics until some time after Jesus ascended into heaven. The heirarchy was largely Roman for hundreds of years. At some point the Church heirarchy had grown so corrupt and heretical that God brought a revival, and drew a remnant back to Scripture, so that they might better understand Him and His will for them, and the fuller glory of His gospel.
Now we are free to consider heaven our home, with Christ as our high priest. No need to go “home to Rome” or “cross the Tiber.”

Really Theo? When did this "revival" happen, how did God draw back your "remnant" and what denomination holds that "remnant" today?
we are all “catholic” if we hold the “catholic” faith.
if one rejects Jesus when He said “This is My Body” or believes baptism is not for the forgiveness of sins, they are not “catholic”, but heretical.
i am looking for someone to tell me who held these “non-catholic” beliefs before the 16th century?
