Only Jesus saves your soul. Any catholic faithful in good standing with God are there because of the Christ's love and grace, not because of the heretical teaching that church affirms. Most Catholics do not have a solid understanding of their own church's doctrine, which is a credit to them.
Jesus Christ himself founded the Catholic Church, while he still walked the Earth. Peter was tapped as the first Pope. Every Church father has written at length in agreement on this. Even the Orthodox, schismatic as they are, adhere to this.
"By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?", Jesus said.
There are many good and faithful people in the Catholic church, but it was the CATHOLIC CHURCH that sowed the seeds of schism. The church's own unchecked evil and heresy tore it apart. Catholics that claim the sole means to fellowship with God are plainly hypocritical.
While the CC may be riddled with hypocrites (at the present time), that does not change the fact that She is the one true Church founded by OL Jesus Christ. Heroic virtue, sanctity, and holiness are only found within Her. Saints Francis of Assisi, Thomas More, Thomas Becket, are just a small example. Outside of the CC you will find no such individuals, because by their fruits ye shall know them.

I’m uninterested in this Protestant nonsense.
