keep ignoring my point.

Your point is ignored for a reason.

It was not that Florence dogmatically defined the canon, but rather that there was a general consensus since the 4th century, and that such would be a part of the Ordinary Magisterium. This, by its very nature, does not issue dogmatic declaration.

Now we're getting somewhere....an admission that Florence did not dogmatically define the canon for Roman Catholicism.

IF the canon was agreed upon by the 4th century, and I believe it was, it was not due to the "Ordinary Magisterium".

The early ekklesia recognized the writings which were inspired. This is clear from several passages in the NT.

No, but it did show what was accepted as Scripture by the Church

The New Testament contains no list of the canon of Scripture.
