Among the early church fathers and New Testament you will find
1) creation ex materia
2) subordinationism
3) pre existence of souls
4) secret rituals
5) Baptisms for the dead
6) theosis
You will not find
1) the papacy
2) purgatory
3) The assumption of Mary
4) Praying to saints
5) an infallible teaching office
6) a closed canon
The uniquely Catholic doctrines are far demonstrably less evident in the early church than uniquely LDS doctrines.
