You are still relying on what someone else believed to be true. You don’t have the same documents that the 1st century had, nor do your priest have the same garments, nor did the 1st century church have the relics you use, nor the commentaries you use, nor do you know that the liturgy you use was used in the 1st century church. You are relying by faith that what your church heirarchy and history is telling you is the truth. You weren’t there when the early church started so you are using reason, probability, that what you believe is true.

Bulls-eye.
