The truth has never been lost. The RCC tried to kill it off and destroy it but never did. So today they try and claim it is not the original but they somehow are. We have always existed and the RCC has never been able to get around that fact. So today they just try to deny.
That is a truly shocking allegation. Where did you get that?
I think there are going to be LOTS AND LOTS of very surprised people on the day of judgment.
There is no doubt about that. Jesus even makes that very clear.
Mat. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
And Paul speaks of this group:
1 Tim. 4:1 Timothy 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
Which Christian history are you reading? It would be more understandable to find what sources you get this information from, I think many, if not all, would disagree with this.

Do some research from non-biased sources outside of your church and you can find it.
Can you point me to some or is this just your own study of the bible and what it says?
Well the bible is a good place to start so you can realize the Christian church and the RCC are not the same thing.
If I have time I will locate some web-sites for you and post them. If you really want to know I would suggest you put forth a little effort and see for yourself. It's not hard to find.

But the RCC compiled the NT so you are saying the very book you are reading proves the RCC isn't the true church? That is not logical.
In 1524 the Roman Catholic Cardinal Hosius, who became the President of the Council of Trent (1560), admitted that Baptists dated back to the days of the Roman Emperor Constintine who was the first "Christian" Pontifix Maximus. Hosius said:
"Were it not that the Baptists have been grievously tormented and cut off with the knife during the past twelve hundred years, they would swarm in greater number than all the Reformers." (Housius, Letters Apud Opera, pp.112,113 as quoted in Trail of Blood, p. 3, Ashland Av. Baptist Church, Lexington, KY, 1933)
Hosius further stated:
"The Anabaptists are a pernicious sect of which kind the Waldensian brethren seem to have been although some of them lately, as they testify in their apology, declare that they will no longer re-baptize, as was their former custom; nevertheless, it is certain that many of them retain their custom, and have united with the Anabaptists." (Hosius, Works of the Heresatics of our Times, Bk. I. 431. Ed. 1584 as quoted by John T. Christian).
