1 John 4:3-4 says:
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
(ESV)
How do these verses relate to the false spirit in the RCC? Do they not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh? Or is the test of these verses not comprehensive?
