Is this supposed to be an answer to my question? If so, I don't understand it. I just want to know what your denomination is so I can look it up and have a better idea of what you believe in your religion.

I dont know that they would belong to any specific denomination. I think they would just be preaching the word of God.
How very sad that ALL Christians do not know they too are part of the Catholic religion which is Satan inspired.

No. If anything that church became the Orthodox Church.
And for a Satan? HAHAHAHAHA...The biggest lie of all. If the church can keep a Satan and a Hell alive then we need a savior. That is their great marketing tool...

Yeah so the Catholics say it's Peter. Why? Cause he stated a sentence about a rock? 😑How about "Jesus is the corner stone." So, it's Jesus, not Peter. Jesus never appointed Peter to anything.
The actual line from matthew 16:18 is "Tu es Petrus et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam"
Looking at the latin itself one can see the difficulty in translating what each word comes out to in english (Peter's name literally translates to rock)
Petrus/Petram; you see the similarity?
It is almost certain that Jesus was referring to Peter as the rock upon which he will build His Church, or even referring directly to Peter.
Furthermore on the idea that the Eastern Orthodox Church was the true Church, one only needs to look to the next line, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." This means that Peter and his direct successors, the Popes, have direct athority from Jesus Christ to teach to the Church. When the Eastern Church broke from the apostolic succession of Peter by following the Patriarch, they lost all of their authority from Jesus Christ. This line also explains the rarely used Doctrine of Infallibility, for Christ allowed Peter and his direct successors to "bind what must be bound in heaven".
One may believe in Christ, but if one ignores his teachings about His one Church, then their belief is in vain.
The Church that Jesus founded was the one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
