Jesus established his Church on Peter - the first in a long line of popes - and He gave His authority ("keys to the kingdom of heaven") to rule over the flock (binding or loosing their sins according to Peter's judgment.)
If you start your own Church, it is not that established by Jesus. And that Church established by Christ and given His authority has definitely taught that there is no salvation outside of it.
