any Christian will find the NT was pretty well established way before any synods, or councils. Yes. By whom was it established though? Luther?

I'm glad you are coming around to the truth.
It was established by Christians. You can't place the honor on any one group. The term Catholic was only beginning to be used AFTER the Scriptures had already been written. Also, when that term was used it did not refer to any one particular church, or groups of churches, it was used referring to the universal group of believers. The claims of exclusivity and power began in the second century. Prior to this Christians were just that Christians.
