We would still have the Bible, unless you think somehow God could not have given us the Bible without Catholicism.
Also I find it a bit disingenuous to keep making such claims, the Church is the body of believers, not the institution of Catholicism, or do you believe other wise?
How about we credit the body of Christ as the Church being the believers as Christ said it is.
Do you deny Matt 16:17-19?
Why did Jesus tell Peter (Luke 22:32) that He had prayed for him that his faith not fail him, and that he should convert his brethren (fellow Apostles)?
The entirety of Acts makes clear that, for whatever faults he may have had, Peter was the chosen one.
You can reject Jesus’ authority as He exerted it in Scripture, but that seems contrary to the Spirit.

Because it cuts into the basis Catholics think they have for laying claim to authority over all of Christendom.
