You asserted: "Jesus established one church, the Catholic Church, and constituted it as visible and hierarchical."

Try to get your mind off of spin cycle; JESUS did not establish an institution, which is what the Catholic Church is, regardless of your spinning and conflation.

God doesn't want you to be Catholic or Baptist or Methodist, etc. He wants to bring you into HIS BODY of BELIEVERS who are born from above and walk according to the faith HE generates in you via HIS SPIRIT in you. Your institution will drop you in Hell in your last heartbeat. The Spirit of God in you will never let that happen:

Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

Ephesians 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Believe what you want. Yet you may be responsible if you reject the teachings of Jesus.Whoever listens to you listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. And whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”Luke 10:16

Yes the Bible is the Word of God, but your interpretation may be False. Just because you repeat the talking points of the protestants, doesn’t mean that you have refuted the Catholic Church or its teachings.

Peace be with you.
