I think perhaps you are asking about the Eastern Schism when most of the Eastern Rites split into two, half remaining Catholic, and half forming what is known as the Orthodox Church. . Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. The split is a long time running, but it cannot remain permanent, as Christ prophesized that all would come into the Catholic Church before the end of the world.
The Roman Catholic Church welcomes all to its Masses (services). However, certain parts of the celebration (i.e. the Eucharist) are reserved only for members who are Roman Catholics. To become a member of the Roman Catholic Church, a process called the Right of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) must be entered. Through this year-long process, people learn about the beliefs of Catholicism and at the end (usually during the Easter Vigil), members receive certain sacraments and become full-members of the Church.

The Roman Catholic Church was never considered the official religion anywhere for the simple reason that there is NO "Roman Catholic Church", that is just an epithet that started in England following the protestant revolt. The Catholic Church was first made legal in the old Roman empire in 313 during the reign of Constantine I. In 380 A.D., under Emperor Theodosius I, Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire by the decree of the Emperor, which would persist until the fall of the Western Empire. In 800A.D.,with the coronation of Charlemagne as the Holy Roman Emperor, all of what would become Europe became a Catholic empire, and remained so as long as the rulers were Catholic. Thus, in Northern Germany and England, the Church was no longer considered the official religion by the newly minted protestant princes in those countries.
The Latin word for universal is roughly the word catholic. Since the Roman Catholic Church was the only church for centuries there was a confusion between the official name of the church and the word used in the Apostles Creed (and others) that refers to a universal church, not to one or another institution. The Apostles Creed, not in today's form, was already in use long before the church was identified as Roman Catholic. Christians knew that they were confessing faith in a universal church-one that transcends all denominations and institutions.
