If what you say has merit, then we must all consider a return to the Messianic movement, because they are convinced that only they are the true church of Jesus, and every Gentile church is just another division of the one body of Christ.

Yeah, I'm not getting that either. How can you say a group is less legit than another based on which group it split from? That's a very RCC mindset. It neither makes sense from an ontological standpoint nor a historical standpoint. To me that says that the Church is doomed to an ongoing degradation into lack of legitimacy. We are all off-shoots of off-shoots of off-shoots.
