What Christ left was His church.. it had no priests, no mass,no idols, no 7 sacraments, no confessional and no apostolic succession.. these are all inventions of Rome

Check your Bible again. It had episcopoi (bishops), presbuteroi (priests) and deaconoi (deacons). The Mass is the name given today for the Breaking of the Bread. Since Catholics have no idols I will pass over this one. Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance ("whose sins you forgive …"), Marriage, Anointing of the Sick and Holy Orders (episcopoi, presbuteroi and deaconoi) are all attested in the Bible. See Acts 1 for apostolic succession.

I think YOU need to check your bible.. the NT is written in greek...Greek has 2 words for "priest" neither word was applied to the church.

The Jewish priesthood was a type of Christ fulfilled on the cross.. where Jesus was both Priest and sacrifice.. God destroyed the priesthood in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed ..the end of the priesthood type and the sacrifice types.

There was no priesthood in the NT church until the 300s when the mass became considered a "sacrifice"
