You had a different teacher than I. Perhaps one of us learned poorly.
That's a fairly logical hypothesis (though it doesn't cover all possibilities--e.g. someone taught one of us badly, one of us is delusional, etc.). So... how do we find out which one of us is the "culprit"? I'd check the objective rules of English Grammar (may I recommend
Strunk & White?), personally.

"Clearly"? How do you come to that conclusion?

Why would the current population of the Roman Catholic Church, and its long tradition, DISPROVE its claim? If anything, its 2000-year-old "tradition", and its vast population which dates back to Apostolic times, SUPPORTS Her claim.
is a false claim that Scripture Itself disproves.
Could you cite chapter and verse where the Bible says, "the Roman Catholic Church is not the real Church"? I must have missed it...

Could you cite chapter and verse where the Bible says, "the Roman Catholic Church is not the real Church"? I must have missed it... Actually, you need to provide the verse that states that "the Roman Catholic Church is not the real Church"?
Show us where the phrase *Roman Catholic church* appears in Scripture.
