There decisively more continuity between the Ophites and the Cathars than a continuity between the early Christians and the Ophites.
It is well in evidence the fact that the also for the Cathars 'cursing Jesus' (obviously, the flesh-and-blood Jesus of the Catholic tradition) was a kind of group marker.

(Jean Duvernoy, La religione dei Catari, my translation and my bold)The Albanists would have said secretly: “That doesn't help me who said: 'My soul is sad until to death' (Matthew 26:38)”. He is the son of the evil god who quotes the Psam 42,5, when he was crucified in the other world.
