Actually you had the NT church, which, based upon the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation (revealing (including how they understood the OT and gospels) did not manifestly believe in such distinctive RC teachings as,
The Lord's supper being a sacrifice for sins by (only) by the hands of a member of a separate class of sacerdotal believers (priests," and with conducting that being their main distinctive function, who dispensed the "true body and blood" of Christ as spiritual food, under the appearance of non-existent bread and wine. Thus presenting a christ whose appearance did not correspond to what he physically was (contrary to the evidence of that in Scripture which is emphasized in contrast to a false christ). See The Lord's_Supper.
Praying to created beings in Heaven, which is nowhere seen despite over 200 prayers by believers that are recorded by the Holy Spirit in Scripture.
Looking to Peter as the first of a line of infallible pope reigning from Rome. Which even research by Catholics provides evidence agains t.
Baptizing souls who could not repent and believe (or needed to) which itself saved them.
Preaching that souls must actually become good enough in character to be with God in Heaven, and since the sinful nature remained after baptism and manifested itself, then (except for a few rare subjects) they must needs ensure purgatorial sufferings in order to attain to this state, and atone for sins they failed to suffer enough for while in this world.

Manifestly affirming even proabortion, prosodomy public figures as members in life and in death, thus making them brethren with the rest.
Enough for now, but there is more since Rome exalts herself as uniquely being the one true church whom all are to submit to. We to varying degrees come too short of the NT church ourselves without adding to that by submission to a prostitute.
The nt church is the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic church. Thank you for pointing it out

Simply put, if you follow what the apostles did and what is recorded in scripture then you could say I am catholic. However if you go by what happened after around 300 AD and has slowly evolved into what we have today, then no, I am not Catholic.
