No where in scripture nor in that verse is the word “church” used as it is conceptualized by the Catholic Church. The word used is “ecclesia” which means an assembly of those called out.

Reality check: Latin, not English, is the official language of the Catholic Church. The Latin word translated into English as "church" is ... wait for it ... ecclesia.

Do Catholics not understand the term “corrupted” meaning of “church” or “ecclesia” or whatever? The RCC has totally changed the meaning just as gay used to mean happy. Ecclesia in the original Greek meant a called out group. Not some conglomerate overreaching organization.
