The fact that they were able to return Christianity to its origins without actually making it resemble anything the historical record suggests about early Christianity is the real impressive feat.

What's next from Protestantism ?
More Gay Marriages, Abortions, Freemasonry, Contraception, Zionism, Prosperity Gospel ?
Maybe after a few more thousand sects, you'll figure it out?

I'll post the easiest and most important. I'm working at car races this weekend and don't have much free time.
So, you are telling us that God, whose Son established the Catholic Church (called Catholic everywhere by the early 2nd Century AD), that despite Jesus's PROMISE to them that the Gates of Hell will not prevail against them, and His PROMISE to be with them always until the end of time, established this Church "that all may be one" as Jesus is with the Father, that then God "used ordinary men" to divide, and divide, and divide to the current 45,000 varieties of churches, all contradicting each other except their one universal point of agreement, that God's promises to the Catholic Church were lies because the Creator of the Universe isn't capable of correcting His perpetually dysfunctional Church members as needed (Find a Bible and read about how messed up the Twelve Apostles were, the early Christians, and read the early Church Fathers as well) with saints who bring the Catholic Church back on course.
Blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen's intercession before God invited God to take the stillborn baby, dead for 61 minutes, and bring him back to life and full health with NO possible explanation from the Medical community. Which ministers in the 45,000 splinter churches, while dead OR alive, have interceded before God with a similar result?
Or which of the 45,000 NOT Catholic Church churches has proven John Chapter 6 to be literally true by exposing by unexplainable Scientific investigation that the Catholic Church's consecrated Hosts are really Jesus's left ventricular heart muscle with type AB positive blood masquerading as unleavened bread and wine with some water? None of them.

Your objections do not carry any weight
It sounds like your objections to reformed Christianity takes 3 attack vectors:
1. Jesus established his church at the Vatican, so anyone not submitted to the pope is a false Christian
2. Since there are 45,000 protestant denominations, all protestant denominations are heretical
3. A Catholic archbishop did a miracle, so all protestants are heretics
Let's look at each one individually:
1. Jesus did establish his church and the gates of Hell will not stand against it. But we know for certain that the RCC is not that church anymore because of their gross errors in teaching Mariology, indulgences, and purgatory. If the RCC had instead remained faithful to the word of God rather than fabricating unbiblical traditions, they might have been the instrument which God used for his glory. Instead, we see in history faithful men...some in the RCC, who spoke against the corruption of the Vatican, and eventually publicly reformed the church. The Reformed church stands today...not as a specific denomination but as those who remain faithful to what God has revealed in his eternal Word.
2. This is both the sweeping generalization fallacy and a self-defeating argument (Because Catholicism is split into denominations as well). Claiming that because counterfeits exist, doesn't prove that the genuine is false. This was a very bad objection on your part
3. What does this have to do with your belief that Reformed Christianity is incorrect?

Which of the Apostles or their sucessors was flying in a private jet and living in mansions? Are these the Acts of the Apostles?

I join you in condemning these unbiblical practices.
Which of the apostles approved LGBTQP+? Has the Vatican approved it, or is this another Catholic denomination?
Aren't all Catholics supposed to be under the authority of the Vatican? Is the Vatican now supporting the LGBTQP+ movement or is this a new denomination?
