I did mention it. It’s just that we don’t share the same understanding of the word “church”

The Church is the Body of Christ with Christ as the head. It is our spiritual home of the Sacramental Life in communion with God and all the saints.

The fact is catholics do make the things of God very confusing which is why it's so difficult communicating with them. Jesus spoke clearly to the crowds....the simple and the learned were attracted to what He had to say. But we know that thru His life and the history of the Christian church...not many learned were called to Him...rather the simple...His Apostles attest to this.

A Christians spiritual home should be hidden in Christ... and their communion with is with Him. Those who attend a church reflect Him....the church itself is nothing apart from the centrality of Christ and the relationships individuals have with Him...no matter how many “Sacramental” rituals are practiced.
