The Samaritans came out from Israel and established their own doctrines. They vied with, and despised, the Jews and imagined that their beliefs were true. All the truth they did have came from the Jews. It was not given to the Samaritans to have authority or revelation. Their only path back to salvation was through the Jews. Similarly, everything Protestantism/Evangelicalism has that is true came from the one holy catholic and apostolic Church. Protestantism has no authority or revelation. Anything it has that is true had to come from those who came before, fifteen long centuries.
As for genuine churches, can you point to a post where one (other than you) used the word "only" in that context ?

Was through JESUS.
Be specific.
Not through Roman Catholicism.
