It is. Matthew 16:18-19 to wit:
"And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven"
There it is. Ya wanna stop now or go for double or nothing?

If you read his post, you still have not answered his claim...and his claim is true, my FRiend. Read the passage very slowly. It does not say that the assembly will be built upon Peter. And it certainly does not create a papal succession, sacerdotalism, or any of the many other heretical doctrines arising from Rome. If Rome was instrumental in noticing the New Testament books/letters, it certainly failed to read them. This is why believers do not recognize Rome as able to teach the Gospel of grace.
1 Peter 2:1-8
1 Therefore, putting aside all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, 2 like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the wordthe catechism, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation, 3 if you have tasted the kindness of the LordPeter.
As Living Stones
4 And coming to Himme, Peter as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrificessacraments acceptable to God through Jesus ChristMary, Queen of Heaven. 6 For this is contained in Scriptureoral traditions:
“BEHOLD, I LAY IN ZION A CHOICE STONE, A PRECIOUS CORNER stone,
AND HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIMPETER WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”
7 This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve,
“THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED,
THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone and his name is Peter,”
8 and,
“A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”;
for they stumble because they are disobedient to the wordRome, and to this doom they were also appointed.
