Peter not founded the church.Jesus did so on Peter as a rock.What were Christs worshippers called before Peter founded the church. Would they be considered Catholic?

I am Christian.
I was raised and Confirmed a Catholic and left because it didn't ring true.
I do not claim Protestant allegiance either because it's just a label that helps divide my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I am Christian.
I am southern Baptist but I am backslid. I am trying to do right by my lord and savior Jesus Christ.
I'm not exactly sure, to be honest, what the difference is. However given I live in North Carolina we consider ourselves Southern Baptist.What is difference between southern babtist and northern?
By the way,i am catholic even with current pope.Althought if he push more leftist bullshit,i probably join traditionalists.
And i try to right for King Jesus and Queen Holy Mary.
We each have our own we seek.If I had to pick, it'd be pagan, specifically of a pan-Indo-European bent. I'm not too attached to Greco/Roman, Norse, or Celtic pantheons. I rather like the Slavic, but they want me to commit too much.
On the other hand, I often find more in common with groups like Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox than Protestants, since I'm very socially conservative. Of course, the down-side of staunch religiosity like that is that birds want you to be of the same flock, which is never going to happen. Peace and tranquility aren't in my blood.

Most lore about the Slavic paganism comes from three sources. Latvia (which has the best surviving scraps of tradition), records from early Christians in the region who were either conquering or converting them (crusaders and Old Church Slavonic mostly), and comparative religion based on using what we know from other sources and piecing things together.Problem with slavic gods,at least in Poland,is that we knew very little about them.Becouse either nobody wrote about their mythology,or what was written was destroyed during one of many wars.
Unless you belive in polish neopagans and their Lechia myth.Problem is - they take it from their own imagination,not facts.
Maybe western slavs have better mythology,i do not knew.
