I would like to see a logical response from Catholics who know more about the Council of Trent. I don’t believe issued, or could issue on its own, any infallible decrees.
Anybody know?

Read about the Council of Trent. Read the decrees issued by the Council or read the Canons on Justification with a summary of their teachings.

This article is from a magazine that bashes Catholic and mis states what we believe. And the few times I have tried to explain things, I get hit by quotes from someone who wrote something 500 years ago who I never heard about.

and the council of Trent is only one of dozens of councils. Some quotes that claim to be dogma proclaimed by the council are merely disciplinary items or definitions or clarifications of dogmas that go back to the days of the early church.

infallible has a limited meaning about core dogmas.

For example, marriage being between a man and woman is a dogma. Marriage between Catholic and non Catholics, or marrying cousins, is a matter of discipline that can change.

And Catholics are saved by God's grace. Deeds just mean you cooperate with grace...
