The proof is simply the unbroken line of teaching all the way back to the Apostles. You reject this... so there you go.

You cannot prove that the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was done ONLY through the auspices of the RCC.

You may and do CLAIM this, but CANNOT prove that there were not others Christians, some of whom fled for their lives from the Catholic hierarchy, who brought the Good News about the Lord Jesus Christ to different parts of the world in spite of the RCC efforts to quash the Gospel knowledge to the common people.

I never claimed anything of the sort. There are many who are not of the Apostolic succession... but no one who proclaims the name of Jesus Christ is our enemy. Unfortunately, that courtesy is not normally returned.

John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me. “For he who is not against us is for us." Mark 9:38-40
