>Paul just wanted to become important within a community
He already was very important in the phrasisiatic community, which he dropped entirely to follow the Truth, who revealed Himself to St. Paul.
You are superimposing your modern wants and desires of power onto a traditional man who clearly cared for the truth but was deceived/mistaken about it initially. Christ then fixed this and set him onto the straight path.

"Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf."

(1 Corinthians 10:14-17)

>I don't think his teachings were corrupted
Can you give me a historical copy of Christ's Injeel then? Where can I read it today?
>did fanfic
Maybe if you believe in a magical text which nobody has ever seen, but judging by the four gospels, he is perfectly in line with everything said there. The continuity is too eerie even for someone who never met Christ during his earthly ministry.
>founded a group of Greeks
St. Paul constantly refutes their silly philosophical doctrines and ways of life in all of his epistles. His teachings are very Hebrew in nature, Paul is anything but a gentile philosopher.

>Protestantism is the only form of Christianity one should convert to
>he still thinks there are "forms" of Christianity
Cringe. You're deeply influenced by modernity in your thinking.
>Do you really think people change that rapidly and that radically?
Yes, it can happen for sure. We should pray for her and not assume without good reason that she's just larping.
>embody the saints to some extent
And it starts with rejecting the ways of this world and at least having a visible interest in being Christian.
