I didn't say that the RCC doesn't consider the UCC in unity with them.
I said that the RC's and the UC's don't consider each other *real* Catholics. It isn't a matter of the official church position being that of unity, it's a matter of the lay Catholics who are not unified.
Do try some reading comprehension lessons.
Catholics do consider the Ukrainian Greek Catholics to be real Catholics.
Maybe the ones YOU know. It's not an opinion that is universally held.
Yes, you did. In 353 you said the churches had "labels" slapped on them specifying what they were, that neither considered the other legit, concluding with "so much for unity within Catholicism".

Here's what you really said in 431: "Roman Catholics didn’t consider them *real* Catholics. Borderline, sort of maybe, but pretty iffy about getting in. Better than Orthodox or Protestants however."
There was no mention of "lay Catholics not being unified," which is something you just added.

It is the universally held position of both churches. The only ones claimed not to believe that are through rumor and hearsay.
That is a pretty disingenuous game to play.
I could make the claim that Protestants believe Satan drives an ice cream truck in Loma Linda for a living.
Although my comment might be based on what 2 drunks who claim to be Protestants told me they saw, the fact is that Protestants in general don't believe that. And to claim that Protestants do believe that, based on the hearsay of 2 people, is dishonest.
Name just one universally held "0pinion".
Peace be with you
