[Petronski]

Nowhere in scripture is the word “catholic” or “Catholic” for that matter used.

Well then, I guess you reject the Trinity.

Technically the word “trinity” isn’t there either but I certainly don’t reject the ample evidence of it in scripture.

I do however reject the notion that the first century church bore any resemblance to any of the churches in existance today and that includes the Catholic church. There were no Catholics in the first century, only Christians. No denominations, just believers.
