I am more inclined to argue the Early Church was more Protestant than Roman Catholic; the best evidence comes from Augustine's writings on election, the Eucharist, and hermeneutics.
In fact, I cover these in my article series, “The White Washing of St. Augustine.”
Good to have Catholic Answers here on Substack. Not a day goes by where I need these arguments.

There has only ever been one Church.
“One Lord, one faith, one baptism.” Ephesians 4:5
“He is the head of the body, the church.” Colossians 1:18
Not thousands of competing churches. Not contradictory doctrines. Not a new body every time men divide.
The early Church was apostolic. The early Church WAS Catholic.
One faith. One Spirit. One body in Christ.
Christ did not found churches. He founded His Church, THEE Church! Singular…
Your own post on this shows nothing.
