desciples
In Christianity, an apostle is typically understood to be one of the twelve disciples chosen by Jesus Christ to spread his teachings. Apostles are considered the foundation of the early Christian church and are thought to have been personally commissioned by Jesus. Their role was to establish and spread the teachings of Jesus, often through missionary work and writing letters to different communities.

Ok. Your statement is true.
Well the Pope wouldn't like to be called the followers of Jesus. They're the followers of the Apostle Peter. Their job is to pretty much spread the teachings of Peter, which is just a re-translated version of Jesus' teachings. Since Peter was actually in Rome to spread Christianity to the Roman people, you can think of the Pope as a really important worldwide one-man missionary, only he does other things like peace talks and giving to the poor.
Jesus was born and raised as a Jew but followers of his teachings (which differ from Judaism) called themselves Christians (Followers of Christ).
