No no, you shold *at least* use what's builtin in the
INC files "out-of-the-box".

So instead of :

  bsf STATUS,5

you should *definitly* write :

  bsf STATUS, RP0

Never use numeric values in place of the already defined
symbolic names in the INC files. This makes it much
easier to read your code and to cross check it against
the data sheet. In effect, there is more or less never any
need to actualy know which bit in the STATUS reg is the
RP0 bit...

Another thing, if you ever would like to move your code
to another PIC (where the RP0 bit *could* be another
bit then bit 5 in the STATUS reg), the symbolic names
will help you a lot, since your source code will still
work (in this regard) by just using the proper INC file.
