They forget that the Catholic Church is based on scripture. Remember what Jesus said to Peter, “on this rock I will build my church”.

Actually no. That is an interpretation, but the only interpretation that has any authority is one given by Rome, based upon the claim that she is the uniquely authoritative interpreter of Tradition, History, Scripture, so her claim to be the inheritor of Divine promises and what they mean must be true and cannot be validly challenged..

Thus the claim is really based upon Rome's claim, not the weight of Scriptural substantiation, which is not required for all RC doctrine, otherwise she would be as evangelicals.

"Actually no."

Actually, yes. It requires an extensive domino effect list of Scripture that must be denied or reinterpreted to piece by piece build a case to deny the Church's authority.
