Did you see this at the bottom of my post?
**These exact words may not all be in Scripture but references to them are — such as Christ speaking to the Good Thief, and the souls of the just arising from their tombs and wandering around Jerusalem, visible only to the believers.**
And as I said before “Many are called; few are chosen.”

Evangelicals would put it more like “universal church [body of all believers in Jesus Christ] in process of being sanctified with an ultimate destination of perfection in heaven.” Many evangelical bodies do repeat the creed, which is rendered with a lowercase c “catholic.”
Evangelicals and Roman Catholics are unlikely to ever agree eye to eye this side of glory on some things that one or the other view as essential. I clearly state my evangelical “Protestant” bias and say the Roman Catholic church (according to the flesh) is a functional church but not a perfect one. But neither is any functional evangelical church a perfect one.
