So from what I've heard early churches were similar to RCC? Does anyone know how similar? Doctrine such as assurance of salvation is not held in Catholic churches. Could have the early churches believed the same?
Read the Book of Acts you will be the best info on the Early Church and its teachings.

The New Testament and the Roman Catholic Church were alike as chalk and cheese.

The NTC were led by the Spirit. The RCC are led by the pope.
The NTC was simple and devoted to the risen christ. The RCC is devoted to all sorts of rules, regulations and conditions.
THe NTC did not have the eucharist. The eucharist is central to everything in the RCC
The NTC did not dress up in fancy robes. The RCC idolises fancy robes.
The NTC did not enforce singleness for their ministries. The RCC does.
The NTC demands a born again experience. The RCC does not.
The NTC did not molest children. The RCC church priests do.
The NTC did not meet in expensive and fancy church buildings. The RCC church does.
The NTC leadership was chosen by God. The RCC leadership is chosen by man.
Plus, plus, plus......
