All religions have evolved out of Catholicism, even Calvinism and Lutheranism.
There is no mention in the Bible of a church in Rome. In the book of Romans Paul did not write to a church in Rome. He wrote to the believers in Rome, Romans 1:7. When John wrote the book of Revelation, he wrote it to the seven churches in Asia, Revelation 1:11. There is no mention of a church in Rome. There is no mention in the Bible of Peter going to a church in Rome. Revelation 17:1-18, describes what may be the Catholic church.
How can we know if a church is really a church of God? John encourages us to try the Spirits to see if they be of God, 1 John 4:1-6. If it is a church of God, it will uphold and teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the only means of ones salvation.
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" Acts 4:12.
Not by Calvinism, Not by Catholicism, Not by any religion. Jesus and Jesus alone, is our savior and is the savior of the whole world, 1 John 2:2. Catholicism, Calvinism and many other religions do not uphold the Gospel as man's only means of salvation. No one will enter heaven that has not been justified by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel you must be put to death with Christ, Romans 6:3 and be resurrected with Christ Romans 6:4. So as to be born again by the word of God, 1 Peter 1:23 and walk in newness of life.
The Catholic church does not have a Gospel that justifies the ungodly, Romans 4:5 and reconciles us and the world unto God, 2 Corinthians 5:18, 19. In the Catholic church you must do works. Like Calvinist, they do not believe that... "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" Which is the Gospel, Romans 10:17. They believe that good works causes one to be born again, kind of like Calvinism. No Christ or Gospel needed. They just get zapped with the Holy Spirit and are born again. No one is born again without hearing and believing the Gospel, Galatians 3:2. To be saved you must believe that Jesus has reconciled you unto God by his life, death and resurrection.
