“The RCC is not the church of the true faith anymore.”

False. The Catholic Church is what it always was - sent by God. Your reasoning is faulty. If the Catholic Church ever was the “church of the true faith” as you just implied it was, it must still be that for Christ only founded one Church.

“It has twisted itself into another religion.”

No such thing could happen according to what you just said. If it was true once, and you implied it was, it always will be. There is no other logical possibility. 2 + 2 has always equaled 4. That cannot change.

“Faith in Christ alone is what saves you, not the Church.”

Christ sent the Church. Clearly He believed it was necessary.

“The Body of Christ is what it is, the Body of Christ and what we call church, but it can’t save you.”

Christ saves through the Church. That’s why He sent it.

“Christ alone can save you and then you are (for lack of better word) incorporated into the Body of Christ.”

You’re cheapening the gospel - which is to be expected from Protestants - and ignoring what Christ Himself said and did.

“Remember the thief on the cross who was being crucified with Christ?”

Yes, most likely I remember St. Dismas better than you do.

“He asked the Lord to remember him and Jesus said, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.” Tell me how the Church saved this thief, ok?”

Since the Church was not yet revealed - that would not happen until Pentecost - your question is nonsensical. The Church was established to do as Christ did as sent by the Father (John 20:19-23). That does not mean Christ could not act before the Church was revealed. Also, I would not be so quick to assume “paradise” meant salvation in the sense a Christian would use the term.
