I would know this through His Church even had I never learned to read a single word of Scripture.

Anyone could know if through hearing Scripture from someone else, without it being the church. It doesn't have to be the *Church* who tells it.

The Church is the way Christ chose to ensure that His Gospel would be proclaimed throughout all the world to the end of age.
