Yes, I think that is correct. But there is nothing to indicate Peter was “Pope” to the other Apostles. They each had their roles and were all led by the Holy Spirit and were therefore working in unison. Nobody clamored to be “top dog” or wore silken robes, sat on a throne or wore an ostentatious hat. They went about doing the Lords work.

If one of them had tried to wear all that accoutrement, the others would have rebuked them with Jesus’ own words about the first shall be last and he that would be leader must be servant. As the Pope is adorned in the robes and jewels and crown, the Catholic Church will piously tell us he is taking on/being the servant to the institution as mediator between man and God.

1Co_1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.

And every one of them tells you he/she is of Peter...
