Why do both the Orthodox and Catholic Churches believe that they individually represent the Original Church?

They are both Apostolic Churches, meaning that their clergy could be traced back to the original Apostles. However they both believe that the other split from the original church. The Catholics believe that Jesus told Peter that he was the rock on which He would build His church, and that they are the original church because they have stayed in communion with the bishop of Rome, who is the successor of Peter. The Orthodox churches do not hold the same beliefs about the pope. They believe that he would be first among equals but not necessarily that he is supreme. The split between the two churches had a lot to do with politics as well as minor doctrinal differences.
