Shame on those who denigrate Paul. Peter didnt explicitly espouse a verbatim trinitarian formula either, but no one doubts him or casts aspersions in his direction. Not aspersions. You are correct. Peter did not either.
However, there are no Catholics who try to build a religion out of just the writings of Peter.

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

To my understanding, Catholics built a religion on a misunderstanding of "the rock" meaning Peter instead of Jesus Christ, and so this statement appears to be somewhat of a misstatement. Perhaps you meant to say not "just the writings" but the writings as well as the person himself.

Peter did not either.No, Peter just denied Jesus Christ three times.
Paul corrected Peter often. It was never the other way around.
PETER DENIES CHRIST THREE TIMES
And that was after Peter supposedly became a believer.
How many times did Paul deny Christ after he believed?
Zero.
