I don't have to catch Ebola to know I don't like it, now do I? Many will say that is over the top, but if the Roman Catholic Church is really what we believe, spiritually I am spot on.What is(are) your alternative denomination(s) for one holy catholic apostolic church, if you exclude the Catholic Church ?
And if it is not what you believe ? Look again at John 17 and 2 Corinthians 5 and ponder what it means of what you assume about the Catholic Church was wrong.
- Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
- Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Christian!!!!!!!!
There is no such thing as "one holy apostolic church" (another ASSUMPTION and false claim by RC's) seen in Scripture! BUT, the entire Body of Christ (corporate membership of believers, as defined by Scripture) is THE church (ecclesia)...
What is a Church According to the Bible?
What is a church? What does a church means? Does it mean a beautiful building? Isnt it a majestic temple? Or it is an assembly of people? Let us simply, directly and deeply answers those questions.
According to the Gospel, a Church is the body of Christ. ...
1 Corinthians 12:12-13 (NKJV)
For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one bodywhether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or freeand have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:27 (NKJV)
Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. ...
The Church of God is not a beautiful and majestic temple or house built by human hands. It is not even just an assembly of people gathered together in one place. It is not just a physical assembly of people. It is a spiritual assembly. Remember that church is the body of Christ, and the head of that body is Christ. The true church of God is a complete body composed of people who are united in the Spirit of God and Christ which is the head of that body. Now you may ask the elders of your church with this question who is the head of our church? If they will answer a different one be alarmed. If they will answer that it is Christ who is the head of our church, make this one a follow-up question are we following all the teachings of Christ, which are written in the Bible? ...

No follower of Christ can ever be one with those who have incorporated paganism as the Catholic Church has.
