You actually proved my point. Jesus left us the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is in the Catholic Church, the one that He founded in the Bible.

And no, being around for 2000 years is not the prerequisite; its that the Church began 2000 years ago with Jesus' official stamp of approval, and has been passing down through Apostolic succession the teachings of Christ since then. No Protestant denomination can claim anything remotely close to that.

Are you saying that the Holy Spirit doesn't reside in any other Christian church besides yours? If so, which one's? Thanks.
