“1) Our Lord Jesus founded the church-not Catholic Church.”

No. The Church Christ founded is the Catholic Church.

“2) I’m a bit surprise to see a Catholic admit that our Lord Jesus founded the church and not Peter. Perhaps this was a clerical error or oversight.”

Nope. And I have never seen otherwise. I have never seen a Catholic say or write that Peter FOUNDED the Church. Catholics often say - correctly - that it was founded on Peter or handed to him so to speak. But I have never seen a Catholic say Peter founded the Church. I have seen Catholics say - correctlt - that Peter founded the Church IN Rome along with Paul.

“3) As far as Dutchboy’s salvation is concerned, rarely can we tell if others are saved or not.”

I said nothing about salvation. You are conflating two entirely different issues - which Protestants are wont to do with those issues.

“There is not much difference from the Roman Catholic Church introduction of extra supporting writings then the Book of Mormonism or the Jehovah Witnesses’ books.”

That’s an incredibly ignorant statement. Joseph Smith invented new books and declared them scriptures. All the Catholic Church did was take scriptures from the Jews and keep them. The Deuterocanonicals were used by Jews. Protestants now often admit this.

From your post 156 to Dutchboy:

It does not surprise me that a non-believer like you...He can rescue even the most entrapped individuals. I hope He rescues you. Clearly that has not happened yet.

It makes all the rest of your statements suspect.
