You should bother reading their history. The Catholic church itself didn't fully Christianize France until the 1000s, but your typical local parish there claims its legitimacy through the very same set of Apostles who founded the Catholic church.

The Baptists advance similar claims. I don't believe the Presbyterians do.

I fear you failed to understand what was posted ~ it's not about what I believe to be the case, but what is believed by adherents to the tenets of the group I named.

I fear your post was pointless.

Unless, of course, you're ambiguously trying to say that all "branches" of Christianity sprouted one way or another from the one true Church and therefore can trace their origin back to the apostles.
