the Catholic Church split from the loyal New Testament Churches (now called Baptist)

You need a new history book.

Well that's what really happened. The Catholic Church split from the loyal New Testament Churches and then with the backing of the Roman Empire began persecuting the Christians who were in the original New Testament Church. These Christians were falsely accused of being heretics and those who were not burned at the stake were chased into the alps. They became known as Anabaptists (re baptizers) because they rejected infant baptism and would baptize people who were baptized in other faiths as infants and later they were known simply as Baptists.
