Catholicism is a cult, the only cult in which one can be saved. Jesus Christ is the cult leader. The Pope is His prime earthly representative.
(This is so when you apply the generic definition of “cult” rather than the modern, negative-only definition.)
How does my belief system “track like a cult”?
How does my “misplace passion” stand at odds with the historic Catholicism?
Your quote: Also note that even people who call themselves Catholic these days really aren’t. That is because 50 years ago a council was held where apostates left the Catholic faith as they created new dogmas that are at odds with the faith of Jesus Christ,
One of the hallmarks of a cult is thinking you alone have the true understanding of your belief...
You basically said 100's millions of Catholics are wrong and you are right...
Which sect of the Catholic church aligns with your belief ?
Oh' Wait the CC has sects ? How can that be ?
Any particular organic church that uniquely claims to be the one true church is a cult in the pejorative. But contrary to cultists, in the NT the church, which the Lord purchased with His sinless shed blood, (Acts 20:28) consists of all who are born of the Spirit, by which we are baptized into one body, (1Co. 12:13) and which is the only one true church. For it alone only and always consists 100% of believers, whereas visible organic churches, though Scriptural, inevitably are admixtures of wheat and tares.

It lacks the unScriptural use of the sword of men to silence theological opponents.
