“There is no such word as “Church” in the Scriptures.”

Nor “Trinity” nor “Bible”.

“But, that is a problem for Rome.”

No problem at all. No rational person expects every Greek or English word to appear in the Bible.

“The word you are trying to mangle to fit your preconception is ekklesia,”

I wasn’t trying anything. I simply succeeded in being right all along. I know the word ekklesia just as I knew the word kyriakos.

“or “public gathering, an ordinary congegation of people”. But, Rome needs the trademark. I will leave it to them and whatever they face when this is over. God knows His own.”

He knows His own. He knows no Protestant sect.

"He knows His own. He knows no Protestant sect."

You may be getting the idea...no organizations are rescued. Only individuals among the elect.
