Why is Coptic Orthodoxy the true religion when there are other religions like Islam, Judaism, and Catholicism?

The Coptic Orthodox Church is the true Church because it has preserved the "faith once delivered to the saints" without alteration, maintaining an unbroken apostolic succession and sacramental life from the time of St. Mark the Apostle. Unlike the Jews, who unfortunately rejected the Messiah and remain under the veil of the Old Law, we worship the fulfilled promise in Jesus Christ as the true Son of God. While Roman Catholics were part of the one Church for centuries, they eventually forfeited their place in the New Testament Church by adopting heretical innovations like the "Filioque" and papal supremacy, leading to their separation. Islam is a later invention that denies the fundamental truth of the Holy Trinity and the salvific nature of the Crucifixion, which are the very foundations of reality. Within the landscape of diverse beliefs, Coptic Orthodoxy stands as the sole guardian of the Miaphysite Christology defined by St. Cyril of Alexandria, refusing the compromises of the heretics and the dilutions of the ecumenical movement.
