Maybe if you’re playing a crossword puzzle.

No, the Catholic Church is the body of Christ. It’s not possible to turn her into the bride of Satan.

"No, the Catholic Church is the body of Christ. It’s not possible to turn her into the bride of Satan."

The only is the one true church is the body of Christ (Colossians 1:18) to which He is married, (Ephesians 5:25) the "household of faith," (Galatians 6:10) for it uniquely only and always consists 100% of true believers, and which spiritual body of Christ is what the Spirit baptizes ever believer into, (1Co. 12:13) while organic fellowships in which they express their faith inevitably become admixtures of wheat and tares, with Catholicism and liberal Protestantism being mostly the latter.

However, organic ecclesial fellowships (that is Rome's terms for non-Catholic churches since it considers them unworthy of the proper name "church") are also organizations, but the Catholic church is an organization with some true doctrines but as told you before(and by the grace of God, many, many, many, many , many times refuted your fallacious attempts to defend such), distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels.

The degree that a church retains and preaches the convicting gospel of grace, of salvation by grace thru heart-purifying, justifying faith, then they are part of the church which the Lord promised would overcome the gates of Hell. However, your false church has sadly become as the gates of Hell for multitudes.
