Matt 16:18 - Jesus: "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church"
Matt 18:15-17 - Jesus: "Take your disagreements to the Church"
1 Cor 10:16-17 - Paul demonstrates that the bread and cup are the body and blood of Christ and "we, though many, are one bread and body; for we all partake of that one bread".
Eph 5:25 - "Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church"
Also, the consistent writings from the time of the Apostles for the first thousand years of Christian history via the Church Fathers would indicate that you are in error.
But by all means, produce your documentation from the first few hundred years of Christianity that shows how they were all essentially Baptist or whatever.

I know nothing of Baptists. And the quotes you list aren't saying much.
If there were passages where Jesus said "build a church, where one homo is in charge, one homo who will make it ok to touch kids and permit inadmissible horrors to take place in nunneries (raping the nuns, not feeding them, killing and aborting heir kids), while the rich archbishops feast and force people to piously tell their "sins" aka their private business so the "church" has blackmalining power over them." Then please. Provide me that documentation.
But even sans my ironic additions. Show me passages where Jesus wants you to build an actual church. And do a stupid cracker show. I could go on. But Catholics are and always will be a cult of powerhungry non believers.
Christ is far from those houses. Very far.

Zero historical documentation or understanding of the history of the religion.
It is clear you're used to reading whatever you want into things and making shit up.
