Nope. Looking at other references, Kefa is Kepha, which is translated to "a stone", or "petros" in Beloved John's Greek handwriting. But in other Greek co-equal passages of Scripture, "petra" is either "tsoor" (Aramaic) or "selah" (the Hebrew equivalent of 'tsoor') but never, ever "kefa" (Aramaic) or "Cephas" (the English transliteration of "Kayphas" the Greek word).
The two words are distinct, not because they coincidentally are inflected with a particular gender, but because precisely Kefa and Petros refer to the size of the rock fragment (which could be, say, the size of a small boulder to perhaps the size of an ashlar, a temple-sized building stone); whereas because it is of the feminine gender, "petra" spectifically refers to a mass of rock equivalent to a mile-long escarpment, or a whole mountain, all one piece, and immovable except by, say, a volcanic eruption, for which in the Hebrew the word "selah", a noun of masculine gender would be the same thing; and its equivalent in Aramaic would be "tsoor," also coincidentally masculine in gender, never "kefa" a separated piece of granite or dolomite or some such stony material.
Hope you're getting this, from the linguistics point of view. I belivee your statement above is dead wrong.

Jesus said you are Cephas and said for the others to hear: upon this Cephas i will build my Church:,

The Holy Spirit made a mistake when He chose those two words (petra and petros)to use, and determined that NT Scripture be preserved in Greek?
You just assume that the holy spirit had anything to do with it but it was written in Greek because that was the langiage of the day.
But the point is that our king James bible uses the word Rock that is R.O.C.K
You people coming up with your silly little excuses of why Peter can`t be the rock is so childish.
There are some good reasons to resist the Catholic Church but trying to put Peter down to the extent of even calling Jesus a liar is not going to get you any medals.
