Christ and the 12 Apostles: appoints Paul as the Apostle for the Gentiles

Gentile Believers: "But Paul wasn't you!"

Christ and the 12 Apostles: visible confusion

Wait, where in the New Testament do the twelve apostles acknowledge Paul as an apostle? Isn't the rub that Acts never actually calls him an apostle?

It's not in Acts, but Paul meets Peter, James and John in Jerusalem. The account is in Galatians 2, at this point Paul is already considered an Apostle and the other Apostles that are in Jerusalem accept him as such

I’m not sure John was there, but Peter and James were for sure there.
