It is not clear what point is being made in Post #28. What interpretation is it that you are trying to show by quoting these verses?

What interpretation is it that you are trying to show by quoting these verses?

    From this passage referenced above, it is evident

  1. The churches in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria were catholic
  2. The churches in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria were genuine and had the Holy Spirit
  3. The sheep of the churches in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria were under the oversight and authority of the Apostle Peter
  4. One could also make the case they were "baptist" even though the word is more like "baptizer."
There is one holy catholic and apostolic Church, founded upon the apostles and prophets, with the Messiah Himself as the chief cornerstone.

The word catholic (with lowercase c; derived via Late Latin catholicus, from the Greek adjective καθολικός (katholikos), meaning "universal")[1][2] comes from the Greek phrase καθόλου (katholou), meaning "on the whole", "according to the whole" or "in general", and is a combination of the Greek words κατά meaning "about" and ὅλος meaning "whole".[3][4] "

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. ἐκκλησία καθ’ ὅλης ekklésia kath’ holēs the churches throughout all

Acts, Catholic chapter nine, Protestant verses thirty one to thirty two,
As authorized, but not authored, by King James
underlines my own
