No, Our Blessed Lord appointed Peter as His first Vicar (representative and head of His Church). He didn't say "be a Catholic", He made St. Peter the head of the Catholic Church, or as Jesus said it, "My Church" (see St. Matthew 16:7-19) particularly verse 18: And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church , and the powers of death shall not prevail against it." (Peter is the masculine form of the word "rock" in Greek)
