Try reading the Bible for a change, starting with
“You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church”.
I will take the words over Christ himself and the early Church fathers any day of the week over any protestant “theologian”, who went not around for the first 1,500 years after Christ was born. End of story.

Sorry, that's what bible believers do...That's why we know the church wasn't built upon Peter...Jesus didn't say whay you claim he said...So you are not believing Jesus at all...
YOU are Peter, and upon THIS rock...
It DOES NOT say, YOU are Peter and upon YOU...
Nor, does it say THIS is Peter and upon HIM...
It DOES say that You are Petros, and upon this PETRA...
So again, sorry, your perverted understanding of language layout and perversion of Greek translation only means you are wrong, and deceptive...
Apparently it works for catechism believers and its sheep but it has no affect upon bible believers...
Good!
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
Oh!!
You've added some unnecessary stuff I see...
Interesting, isn’t it, that Peter himself says that CHRIST is the rock. Peter never makes that claim for himself.
I’m not the one who needs to read Scripture. Try it yourself for a change.

1 Peter 2:4-8 As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture:
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”
So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone,”
and
“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”
They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
