You really think the RCC is the New Testament church?
The ones who brought us the crusades, Spanish Inquisition, and a host of heresies (indulgences, veneration of Mary, purgatory, the papacy) that they were eventually called out on?
God always kept a remanant of true Bible-believing Christians (Donatists, Catheri, Pricillianists, Waldenses, Anabaptists, etc). You remember them. They were the ones persecuted and slaughtered by the RCC. We give credit where credit is due. The Donatist predate the RCC. Follow the blood, and you’ll find the real church.
Fundamental Baptists adhere to a literal hermaneutic in biblical interpretation, which makes is impossible to make a private interpretation: becuase the Bible is self-defining.
And we have nothing to do with the innumerable non-denominations springing about.
Scripture Alone.
