Susan:
You tend to erase so much of the previous discussion and focus on
isolated points to such a degree that it is no longer clear what the
point of the discussion was.

The point is that the current NT was formed by the group of Christians
who broadly accepted Paul's authority and understanding of Jesus'
mission.
But there were other groups besides them who identified themselves as
Christians and they had radically different theologies.
Calling the first group "Pauline" is just a convenient label to
distinguish them from other branches.
