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.

Christians knew that they were confessing faith in a universal church-one that transcends all denominations and institutions.
