Although you'll find authentic Catholic opinion disagreeing on all sorts of truly debatable things, please note that post of the participants in this corner of the thread are sedevacantists, which is to say, ex-Catholics.

Their feeling is mutual.

I am not naming them because I do not wish to ping them into the further discussion with me. However, I think it's accurate to say that they are as Catholic as you are: no more, no less.

An insult either way, as it is to assert that the NT church was Catholic.

It was not meant to be an insult, but I think it’s true that they’re as Catholic as you are, neither more nor less. It does not imply a put-down in itself. We’re brothers and sisters in Christ, it seems to me, no matter how difficult that relationship might be at any given time.
