I asking where is it "claimed by the Romanists that Paul went to Peter in Galatians 2 to "check" that he was teaching correct doctrine."

I believe that you have made such a claim.I asking where is it "claimed by the Romanists that Paul went to Peter in Galatians 2 to "check" that he was teaching correct doctrine."
The offices were instituted by Jesus and the Apostles, and the Scripture, even the Protestant versions of the Scripture, prove it explicitly. 1st Timothy 3:1 has Paul presuming the office of bishop is already ontologically real. Jesus singles out Peter to set out particular duties just for him, and then John's Gospel, written after Peter died, into a subsequent pontificate, bolsters the Scriptural written record of the distinction of Peter's office by including the "Feed My sheep" conversation between our Lord and Peter.
The papacy is a distinct office from all the rest of the bishops. He's not just "first among equals", his office is distinct. The idea that his office is just another patriarchate is partisan (the party in question being namely, Eastern Orthodoxy).
