Historical fact, not fantasy. The early Christians accepted the books of the Old Testament that were found in the Septuagint, which include the Deuterocanonical books. The canon of the Bible was definitively established in the 4th century. It was reaffirmed by the Council of Florence in 1442. If memory serves me right, this Martin Luther. All the Council of Trent did was, like Florence, reaffirm what had already been accepted as the canon of the Bible by Catholics for over 1000 years. Remember, also, the Luther attempted to modify the canon of the New Testament as well.
