The true church is the body of Christ that is made up of all born again Christians rather than an organization. (Colossians 1:18,24) The true church is a spiritual entity that is not confined to a specific building or denomination. The term "church" (ekklésia) refers to a called-out assembly of believers and not an institution.

Revelation 13:1-2
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea; ->
->(sand of sea?->John was a Jewish citzen-Isaiah 10:22-23 explain whom the sand of sea are, take a look),
-> and saw a Beast rise up out of the sea->(A Gentile Beast)
-> (sea, by allegory=waters=peoples, and NATIONS, and multitudes of all tongues-Revelation 17:15), having seven heads->(the places where NATIONS are located-> this Beast is located or established in Europe, and Asia, and Africa, and Oceania(Australia), and NORTH AMERICA, the land of the current Pope, and Central America, and South America), ->
-> and ten (10) horns, and upon his horns ten crowns->
10 horns are, by allegory, 10 tribes and their 10 PRINCES->Numbers 17:2-> ruled by the esoteric and kabbalistic messiah of the Jews, he probably is from the tribe of DAN-Genesis 49:17 combined with Revelation 13:11, a false messiah->(John 5:43-47), a false lamb, in fact he is the dragon, red Dragon-Revelation 13:11 combined with Revelation 12:3-4 and 9, and 2Thessalonians 2:3-4, take a look:
->and upon his (7) heads ->(upon 7 heads of the Gentile Beast of sea) ->as main PARTNER of the red Dragon, having 7 heads and 10 horns, and 7 crowns upon his heads, ->
-> the name of blasphemy. -> This name of blasphemy is known as guide and ruler of the former and true Church of the Lord in Rome, which apostatized completely through Jewish false believers->(1John 2:18-22 and mainly Romans 1:21-25, and so on, and now will be the main partner of the Jewish esoteric and kabbalistic false messiah, the red dragon-Revelation 13:11, and so on. And now, in days ahead or days to come, the red dragon, the false messiah of the Jews, will give to the current Pope, American Pope, his power, and his seat, and great authority, in LITERAL FULFILLMENT of Revelation 13:2);
THE ROOTS OF THE BEAST OF SEA:
Revelation 13:2 - And the Beast which I saw was like unto a leopard(Greece), and his feet were as the feet of a bear(Medo-Persian), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion(Babylon): and the dragon->(the Jewish false messiah-Revelation 13:11 combined with 2Thessalonians 2:3-4 and 9) gave him (will give to the current American Pope) his power, and his seat(in Jerusalem, spritually called Sodom and Egypt), and great authority.

1 John 2:18-22-> (85-90AD)
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. ->(the last two Days->Hebrews 1:1-3 combined with John 2:19 and Hoseas 6:1-3, take a look)
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.->Revelation 13:2)
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist,
that denieth the Father and the Son.->(John 5:22-23, take a look).

That's not in Scripture. There were no denominations. There was a singular institution established by Christ and the Apostles and Bishops and priests established in every place with the same doctrine.
It was a singular institution only geographically separated. Paul’s letters to the Churches were not to different denominations, but to the same Church, with the same doctrines taught by the Apostles.
I said not confined to a specific building or denomination. Don't confuse the Roman Catholic institution (confined only to that specific institution) with the church, the called-out assembly of believers, the body of Christ. (Colossians 1:18, 24)
The Roman Catholic church has a list of false doctrines that were not taught by the Apostles. I'm afraid you have been deceived.
If you read the scriptures, you see one Church geographically separated with an Apostolic government of elders and Overseers put in place by the Apostles.
They were all united in the same doctrine. Paul corrected some when they strayed from same doctrine.
The Catholic Church maintains Apostolic doctrines by Apostolic Tradition handed down.
Protestantism scattered into every wind doctrine as each man interpreted as he felt on scriptures meaning. Many human founded churches were the result.

To all the super Christians who possess the only true theology — blessed be the peacemakers, turn the other cheek, resist the devil, be kind to one another, love your neighbor as yourself, reject malice, give not place to anger, take up your cross, suffer insults without retaliation for the heavenly kingdom’s sake. We will be judged for our deeds, not our creeds.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Problem is even when the evidence clearly debunks something, people seldom change their mind anyway. Everybody believe they are sound interpreters but for some reason, they often disagree.
Same set of doctrine.... Great variety of senior pastor... The question... What is formed in the hearts of the leadership?
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:19
My aggravation is that you can have a wonderful set of religious dogma... And wonderful and terrible people under the same set of rules. When I got saved as a teenager I entered into a Pentecostal Holiness church very much alive. Our preacher was once an evangelist. The song leader and choir were excellent. We had a wonderful youth group who would travel all the time. The people would shout, run the aisles, and live a wonderful life at home as well. I thought... Oh my! I am going to stay in this state of existence until Gabriel blows his horn and I be called up to glory.
Well... Things did not work out that way. Our Senior Pastor retired and they got a plain and ordinary type of guy. I can't remember the last time we had revival. He bought radio equipment during Covid and expected everyone to listen to his plain and ordinary messages in their car. When I passed by after visiting a Southern Baptist church Sunday I only saw two cars in the parking lot.
So who am I denominational wise? How about aggravated! I do believe we have good Christian people in most Christian denominations. I do enjoy the 9AM SBC service on Sunday. I do not buy into the "One True Church" analogy as I have seen good and bad out of each movement. In this life anyway...
It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment. - Hebrews 9:27
And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats. - Matthew 25:32
In the last days the sheep will be gathered out of many to then form the one true church.
