The body of believers is never called "Catholic" (Roman or otherwise) in scripture.

The body of believers was not referred to as "Christians" until the Gospel had been taken to Antioch, years after Pentecost. According to your reasoning, therefore, there were no Christians until the believers were called Christians in Antioch.

That's not what Petronski said up the thread. Petronski said that Peter was Christian before JC was dead, buried, and resurrected.

For clarification, which is it?

I believe your point went right over her head.

Exactly what reasoning of mine are you referring to?
