Our Lord doesnt use the word faith in Matthew 16:18. And you accept God chose specific leaders in the Old but now deny it in the New.
“Jesus Christ chose JUDAS as a disciple and loved him, but only those whom God the Father has elected in His Plan are saved. Faith may be discerned by those who believe.”

Using the one man who sold Jesus out to ignore Protestants accept some men in the Old Testament as God’s chosen leader and deny Jesus would do the same in the New Testament.
Peter was the leader of the Apostles, not Judas. Christ
named Peter leader of His Church on this earth (Matt 16:18). Peter settled disputes not Judas. Peter was given the “keys”, a symbol of authority. History shows this Truth.
Name the “leader” on earth of Protestantism? God doesn’t
change Cvengr.
Our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
