***Why not change the name from Christians to Paulines?. ***
How about Paulistinians? Paulistas? Paulocrats?
The point is that St. Paul is very important to the doctrine, critical for saving the infant Church. But the misunderstandings of Paul should not be the substitute for the Gospel message of Jesus.

(I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)

Yes, exactly. But when we speak of "Paul" we should not confuse him with Saint Paul. The former is a deformed Saint Paul of the Reformation. "Paul" becomes the standard through which everything, even Chirst, is deformed.
