What's given and protected by the Holy Spirit is hardly flawed. What is flawed are the various heresies that came up and died out, like Arianism, Gnosticism, unitarianism and other that have arisen and died out after 3-4 centuries.

The Church has survived only due to God's grace

That is true, and is why the understanding of what the Holy Spirit says by His method of transmission, utilizing the literal/historical/grammatical/cultural hermeneutic, reveals the flaws listed in the initial post.

And that is why the churches loyal to the Real Christ have existed apart from catholicity since the beginning.

Don't expect more wrangling with your apparent intentions.

Of course, as you know, the old heresies have been resurrected again with a new spin to them such as montanism heresies adopted by pentecostalism and others
