“Except only Protestants say that. Just like JWs say there’s nothing there about the Trinity.”
Well... I don’t know any Methodists, Lutherans or Presbyterians who recognize “pope” as an office of the church - but more importantly, neither does the Apostle Paul in his list of church offices.

I do. There was a small Lutheran synod that recognized the pope but didn’t actually follow him. Rather strange, but it shows just how theologically divergent Protestant sects are.

Actually he listed “apostles”. That’s what Peter was, an Apostle. The successor to the Apostles were bishops.
