The problem with the identification is that it is not deduced by "good and necessary consequence" from Scripture so the affirmation is contrary to the Confession's own stated view of Scripture. The papacy is certainly "an" Antichirst and I believe it is even *the* Antichrist. The Scriptural shoe fits and I've even read where it was held that the Reformation was the mortal wound spoken of Rev. 13. Again, very compelling but how can anyone know for sure?
