The answer is simple if you read Greek.
Jesus said to Pete: "...you are Petros ( masculine, a large piece of rock) and upon this Petra
( feminine, a huge rock like Gibraltar), I will build My church... Two different words are used.
Pete had just stated that Jesus is the Christ.
Upon that information /statement Jesus would build His church.
Christianity predates Catholicism.
Catholicism is a subversion of Christianity.
