Those pastors/preachers who are preaching the truth are not affiliated with each other through organizational ties. They belong to the body of Christ and get their instruction and guidance from the Holy Spirit. There are few left.
The Catholic Church never truly represented the body of Christ. Constantine "legalized" acceptable Christianity, but it's still illegal to be a Christian in many parts of the world, and is becoming that way here in the United States. True Christians are leaving the divisional, false churches that are just playing Christian and are gathering in small groups or managing to have regular communication with other believers long distance.
Many Christians are isolated from other like-minded believers and listen to their pastor's messages on CDs or in conference rooms on the internet, and only talk directly with their pastor on the phone. They are blessed when they can be in the same town.

The Orthodox church is the oldest Christian church. The Roman Catholics split off in the 11th century, prefering the latin heresies to real Christianity.

Denominations and religions are all man made. Faith in God and salvation through Christ is a gift from the Father. You do not have to belong to a denomination to be saved by the Blood.

Jesus said: “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35) Such love reaches across racial, social, and national boundaries, drawing people together in genuine brotherhood. So strong is this love that it sets them apart as being truly different. When the nations go to war, who have enough love for their Christian brothers in other lands that they refuse to take up arms and kill them? That is what early Christians did.
Jesus said that his true followers would be “no part of the world.” (John 15:19) To worship God in a manner that he approves requires that we keep ourselves “without spot from the world.” (Jas. 1:27) Can that be said of those whose clergy and other members are involved in politics, or whose lives are largely built around materialistic and fleshly desires?—1Â John 2:15-17.

Only you are going to be able to answer that one for yourself. You will probably have to go to several churches and see what one feels the best for you. See if the sermons move you to want to be a better person, ask the pastor or ministers questions and then ask yourself if this is YOUR truth.

We believe the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth givin to us by our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Christian brothers are such great people and their faiths do have truths but the Catholic Church has the fullness of truth. We share in the Eucharist which is recieving Jesus himself, we celebrate 7 sacraments that bring about grace. Look into the Church and her teachings and may our Lord bless you from head to toe!

Depends on your perspective and you definition of Christianity. Widen your scope even. How do you even know that Christianity in general is the one true religion?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Catholics aren't even the oldest form of Christianity. Keep in mind that Christianity started as many small cults (don't take offense to my terminology - I don't mean it THAT way) along with other so-called mystery religions. The belief systems of these cults differed.

In my personal opinion, it doesn't matter which "bus" (church) takes you to heaven as long as you get on one! Search for the place you're most comfortable and grow (spiritually) there.
