Every Bible uses the same Greek and Hebrew scriptures that are preserved by the Catholic church.

Yes, and it is not the hearers or readers of whatever translation that are just before God, but the doers.

You didn't say that in Latin, so it how could it be official? ;)

In the Complutensian Polyglot, the Latin was put in the middle column, with Greek and Hebrew set to either side.

Latins of the day (whoever wrote the Preface) likened those to be two thieves with the Holy One being in the middle.

Under the concept of one screw-up wiping out ten attaboy's -- the world owes the Latin Church precisely nothing for having 'preserved' Scripture, though there are exceptions to this for individuals here and there among them who did labor to preserve what they could. God will reward those whom He sees fit to reward, in this.

Inventions such as papacy are most certainly not justified by the text -- so there goes the "being doers of the word" thingy, right out the window! ---for the prelates of the Latin Church, anyway. If there was no Grace, none could be saved. Period.

So much for relying upon one's own works for justification, eh?
