Early Christianity was influenced by many cultures and Greek is just one of them. For example the word Abraham and Brahma are almost identical.

It is more likely to be a Greek influence. As the main founder of the religion, Saul aka Paul, was influenced of the Hellenistic culture.

This can be debated. Both Sanskrit and Greek are Indo-European languages and have several common words.

I have to disagree on the Catholic word part. It came from the Greek word “katholikos” which meant universal.
