There, in a nutshell, is the chasm between Christians and some of the fringe Paulian cults who all but openly profess that Paul, not Jesus, is their savior. Substitute the name Mary for Paul and you have what they repeatedly accuse Catholics of.

No, there in the nutshell are you nuts...
You have been shown the verses more times than I can count...The apparent fact that you don't have a clue what to do with the verses is no ones problem but yours...
Mat 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Act 11:19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Act 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
Are these verses (and many, many others like them) blackened out in your Catholic bibles??? Or you just don't bother with the bibles anyway???
Act 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Eph 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Eph 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Eph 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
It's all there...Read it and see what God says about it...

Correct. We have all these idiots who consider Paul to be the greatest of the Apostles. Jesus apparently was so naive and unschooled, that He had to practice on the 12 before He got it right and picked Paul to succeed Him. In a way, like Paul Atreides, the Messiah of Dune, who picked Leto II to succeed him. Leto was the God Emperor of Dune who lived for thousands of years and was far greater than his father.
Thus, to many of such as these, Jesus was a super David, excelling him in every way, and Paul was a super Jesus, excelling Him in every way, especially in instruction to Christians. Jesus was for the Jews only, according to this bunch. Paul was for the Christians and the whole world. It is Paul to whom Christians must turn, as long as they use the magic phrase "in Jesus' name". To their way of thinking, this preserves the illusion that they are still Christian.
