There is no such word as bestoyed.
'One' as recited in the Nicene Creed means one, single Church united under the leadership of Jesus Christ through His vicar on earth, the pope. Since the Catholic Church was the only Christian Church in existence at the time the reference could only be made to that Church.
Yeah, it's just a big catholic word for church.
No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide.

The correct name of the popularly called Catholic Church is The Holy Roman Church. The word "Catholic" is not a part of its official name.
Well, "catholic" spelled with a lower-case "c", is a word meaning, "all-inclusive". It is not necessarily a religious word, at all. Roman Catholic is a Christian religion, and the word, "Catholic" is a religious word meaning, "all-inclusive" or "available to all". There are 2 Catholic churches. The church in Roman-held areas was a rival to the church in areas of what is now Turkey. The head of that church was in Byzantium. Eventually, the 2 church group broke apart, one being called the Roman Catholic church, and the other being called the Byzantine Catholic church. The Byzantine Catholic church is today better know as the Greek Orthodox church and Russian Orthodox church. Thus church follows the old, old practices that the Roman Catholic church has abandoned or altered over the years.
