You're right on Kelly. There have been heretics apart from the Church universal from the get go. In the New Testament, Paul spends much effort in refuting the Judaizers. In the Early Church, we find the Ebionites, the Marcionites, the Docetists, the Gnostics, the Monophysites, the Arians, etc.
Pray tell, of which of the above sects are the true believers? The Ebionites? The Marcionites? The Docetists? The Gnostics? The Monophysites? This list isn't exhaustive, perhaps you would like to pick another historical sect from the first two centuries of Christianity that you would like to label as the pristine faith? Now, come, let's not make up our sects. Pick one in the history books.
They held the pure faith of the Apostles from the mid first century all the way through the dark ages. It actually was the reformation that tainted them.
Go figure.
