By that same exact reasoning Roman Catholics cannot call first century Jewish followers of Christ and apostles of Christ as "Catholic" today.

The invention of a term to describe us by Anglicans in the 17th Century should restrain how we describe the Christians of the early church?

Why?

The term "Catholic" comes from the Greek "kata holon", "of the whole," or "universal". It's the church of the whole world, of the whole of humanity. The first recorded use of the term is in the writings of Ignatius of Antioch († AD 107), who called himself "the bishop of the Catholic Church in Syria".

Yes. There are places in Presbyterian liturgy that refer to the Catholic church and it's meant in the sense of the church universal, not the Roman Catholic church.
