Meanwhile,
those who testify to most strongly holding to Scripture as the accurate
and wholly inspired word of God, with its basically literal conveyance
(as in historical accounts, unlike so much modern RC scholarship), testify to being the most unified in many basic beliefs.
In stark contrast to those overall whom Rome manifestly considers members in life and in death.
Thus based upon facts and the Biblical criteria for determining belief, (James 2:18) the RCC cannot be one in belief, while as for being the one true NT church, Catholic distinctives are simply not manifest in the the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
Therefore some Catholics essentially argue that in any conflict, Scripture, history and tradition only consist of and mean what she says - if she does say so herself.
In contrast to which is the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation. which distinctive Catholic are not manifest.

If I see notifications of comments then I will try to respond to comments within one or two days, however, I may not see notifications (I hardly ever get comments) and this has not been where I usually engage in dialogue.
Please try to be reasonable, willing to examine things prayerfully and objectively, and refrain from "rants" and profane language, especially regarding God and the Christian faith. The latter type are subject to removal on this Christian blog, but I do try to help people no matter who they are. May all know the grace of God in truth.
