"You obviously forget that Christ also told the disciples that the Holy Spirit would bring to their remembrance all that He taught them."

What Jesus promised in John 14:26 was a Paraclete. This Paraclete, both the giver and the gift, is what ensures the ongoing inerrancy of His Church.

Peace be with you.

paraklétos
Short Definition: an advocate, comforter, helper, Paraclete

The Holy Spirit was sent as all those but the apostles were told that He would “bring to their remembrance”. No one else was told that but we also know that the “advocate, comforter, and helper were also given to each believer and not just the “magesterium” nor was the “magesterium” promised that He would “bring to their remembrance”.

Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.
