“I’ll let you run down that fantasy rabbit trail by yourself. Placate you ego as you wish.”
Of course you’ll say that: Because if you actually dealt with it you would have to admit I was right all along. Tobit lived before Christ walked the earth.
“Peter and all of the New Testament believers had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to give them discernment.”
But you don’t? After all if you’re saying you would put an angel to a “test” and yet the Apostles didn’t because they “had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to give them discernment”, then you must not have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to give you discernment. Once again we see the deficiencies of the Protestant mindset.
“Isn’t that something Catholics deny for anyone other then their “magisterium?.”
Nope. But you just denied it to yourself by using your own invented out of thin air “test” which denies your have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Need another shovel to dig your logic hole deeper?
“Of course Peter knew where the angel was from.”
Not until he came to himself - as the text says. He knew it by the successful action of the angel.
The Israelites during the Old Testement had a directive to know who was from God and who wasn't.
Jer 26:4 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Did this so called angel say that? No he didn't. That so called angel said "'I am one of your brother Israelites; I have come to these parts to look for work.". An angel came to look for work? Tobias actually told him he would pay him for his time. The so called angel said "I am Azarias, son of the great Ananias, one of your kinsmen." Not once did that so called angel claim to be from God or make the statement "thus saith God" nor did he say he was from God. That all makes him a liar about being an angel.
The Israelites were warned about them.
Num 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Believe in that false angel and that Tobit is scripture if you want but it's obviously not inspired by God.
