The " catholic " in the creed has a lower case C..... therefore this is the universal church, not the actual Catholic Church.
So catholic = Universal Church
Catholic = The Catholic Church ( The one with the Pope )

Why do Anglicans still say in their creed that they believe in the catholic church?
When they say in the Apostles creed "I believe in the holy Catholic church" they don't mean the Roman Catholic church, which is odd in that the Roman (Latin rite) Catholic church is the TRUE church. If they were to say the Nicene creed which goes.....I believein one holy Catholic and apostolic church....they would have a problem in that they are not apostolic, that is not ordained directly in line from the apostles which catholic priests are. Realising this the Anglicans have changed the definition of Apostolic to mean following the gospel message(s) as originally preached by the apostles. In short Anglicans (low church, liberal church and hight church) are really protestants pretending to be Catholics.

In the Apostle's Creed the Methodist (and other Protestant denominations) declare: "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, ...". In this context, the term "holy catholic church" (note the lower case "c" not upper case "C") refers to the universal church not the Roman Catholic Church. The universal church is a term for the larger Christian community (including Catholics, Protestant denominations, etc.). And likewise, the Nicene Creed reads similarly with "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church".
