Besides, there’s nothing else in the NT that indicates the existence of the Roman Catholic church at the time it was written. It’s history doesn’t even begin until some 300 years after the death of Christ.

Just because the phrase "Roman Catholic Church" doesn't explicitly appear in the NT doesn't mean it didn't exist.

There’s nothing in the NT at all that establishes the hierarchy of the RCC.

There’s no recognition of Peter as being any more special an apostle than any of the others, even though the opportunity for that occurs at the Council of Jerusalem.

Peter leaves no instructions about himself of filling his alleged position after his death in his epistles.
