Not infallibility but Catholics, for all their claims of not personally interpreting Scripture, are no different. You also are making your own personal interpretation of Scripture.
The difference is that you throw your hat in with the Catholic interpretation because you have personally looked at it and decided that the Catholic one is correct.
Either way, whether you accept the Catholic position or a non-Catholic one, it’s STILL a decision that you have personally made as to which one is correct.

Not quite. I have first accepted the truth claims of the Catholic Church. Then, while studying Scripture I find that they are indeed in line with Catholic teaching while Protestant interpretations are clearly against.

And with that approach you eliminate faith and replace it with mere opinion. If you were then honest, instead of saying "Scripture says," you would have to replace it with "In my opinion, Scripture says." You would also have to cease from making bold statements that another's belief is against Scripture, and limit yourself to saying that in your opinion it is against Scripture.
