I'd say that the Church is both visible and invisible, analogous to its divine and human relations. Every living member is visible. The dead members are in heaven (and so they are sort of invisible) until they will once again be made visible to us at the resurrection. I’d need more explanation about those positions.

If there is no difference, then how does your position differ (other than semantically) from that of those who explicitly affirm that the Church per se is not visible, since they too acknowledge that her embodied members are visible?
