Acts 8:31
Jesus founded the Catholic Church so that, among other things, people would be able to understand His Word. Those who reject the Catholic Church reject the church that He founded.
Matthew 16:18
“You wrote: salvation is through a hierarchical church. So, salvation has nothing to do with Jesus? Is it your contention that the hierarchical church is more important than Jesus? What say you about Jesus and the sufficiency of his blood - do you need more than that? “
No, it is by and through Jesus we are saved. HOWEVER, He didn’t leave us orphans, ascending to heaven and throwing down an intact New Testament shouting “Good luck, y’all.”
Matthew 16:18-19 carefully consider he is handing to Peter the power to loose and bind. And after the resurrection, he asks Simon Peter 3 times “do you love me?” Peter replies in the affirmative. — Essentially he is being forgiven by Jesus for denying him 3 times. He is told to “feed my lambs, tend my sheep.” Peter is the head guy. Acts 1 shows this, after the ascension they all gather, and Peter is the leader. And does your church follow the teaching in John 6 that they are to consecrate bread and wine which becomes the actual body and blood of Christ? If your church doesn’t follow that, they don’t have the fullness of the faith. You are missing out. You are like Judas — who turned away from Christ because of that teaching. The end of John 6 records as much.
It's an old trick - steering the subject AWAY from MORMON ism and it's heresy and highjacking the thread into yet another infinite C vs P thread.
Don't fall for it.
