...the Church that Christ instituted...

Having assumed that Catholics, when they post "Church" with upper case C, they mean the Catholic Church.

If this was your meaning, it is not Biblically correct.

Even though it has been stated here that Jesus was a Catholic and that Catholicism started in the year Zero, there were no Catholics until long after Jesus died

Peter was ex post factoed in as the first pope hundreds of years later, then a list of following popes was conjured up.

The church that Jesus started in the 1st century was made up of all born again saved followers of Jesus. It is 100% made up of Christians.

Which, as an aside, is why the body of Christ CANNOT be contained within the Catholic church, nor any other denomination for that matter.

I imagine all Christian denominations, including Catholicism, have Christians in them.

Salvation: courtesy ping as you seem to have some confusion about this issue. I hope you read down this far.

That is 100% correct, but that SAME group soon became known as Catholics...SAME group.

When you were conceived you were who you are.....when you were born, your mother/father named you syncro.....

However, from the moment that you were conceived you were syncro even though you weren't referred to as such.

The Catholic church was conceived by Christ...it was referred to as such before the end of the first century.......nothing changed, same group permanent name.
