We both received the same Catholic raising and education growing up. So I know you know the context to RNMomof7’s comments. Yes I read the previous posts.
The New Covenant is in Jesus Christ’s Blood. So to put it more clearly EVERY Gospel account BEFORE the Cross and Empty Tomb must be seen in their light. So more accurately, yes the ministry of Christ as recorded in the Gospels is during the Old Covenant but the events of His death and resurrection and glorification define the New Covenant.
The Gospels are rightly placed in the NT canon as Christ’s birth, life and ministry all point to the Cross and Empty Tomb.

That is not what she said at all. I read nothing into her comments and took them at face value.
If she meant something else than she needs to clarify it.

Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) (Romans 1:1-2) But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: (Romans 16:26)
