>>>ROFL!!! Find the word “church” or anything that actually translates “church” in the New Testament. Ecclesia won’t do it btw.<<<

What Greek lexicon are you using? Mine say something like this:

ekklesia: that which is called out

or this,

ek-klay-see’-ah; a calling out, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both): — assembly, church.

Do you actually believe that the word ekklesia translates to the definition of “church” that the Catholics use? The Greek word ekklesia never once was used for organizations like the RCC.
