False

The NT church didn't have idols of Mary, pray to her, rely upon her for salvation, proclaim her omnipotent, etc....for starters.

It didn't conduct its business in Latin.

There was no Mass.

There was no priesthood as we see in Roman Catholicism today and none of the attire worn by the pope, bishops, etc.

I agree. There just HAS to be something that Rome does today that was found in the Letter in Acts 15.
