So why’d He lead you out (of the Church started by Jesus Christ himself 2000 years ago) and not the rest of us Catholics? Does He love you more or something?

Negative in both cases. Rome is definitively not the Church started by Jesus Christ himself 2000 years ago, but a severely manifest deformation of it.

Yet the one true church, the body of Christ, seeing as it alone is made up of only believer, continues, even though the visible expressions of it were never pure for long.

And the Lord gave me grace and truth and leading, while those who remain are either ignorant or deceived.

Perhaps you want to go thru the list and debate the items that are not seen in Scripture, or are contrary to them.

But I think the first question I would ask you is, what is the basis for your determination and assurance of truth?

For it seems that the RC argument is that an assuredly (if conditionally) infallible magisterium is essential for determination and assurance of Truth (including writings and men being of God) and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith, and authority. (Jn. 14:16,26; 15:26; 16:13; Mt. 16:18; Lk. 10:16)

And that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that such is that assuredly infallible magisterium. Thus those who knowingly dissent from the latter are in rebellion to God. Does this represent what you hold to or in what way does it differ?
