OK, bass. But that's not an answer. If you buy Havoc's Greek lesson then Our Lord was, in fact, insulting Peter. Rubbing his nose in it. The fact that he was just a tiny insignificant stone, compared to the greatness of Jesus Himself.

The Lord insulted Peter because he didn't make him the Rock upon which he built his Church??????

Compared to the greatness of Jesus Himself who is not just a tiny (I will not use the word "insignificant") stone?

16 yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified.

Gee whizz, Paul not only rebukes Peter but he says we can be justified by faith alone. THE HERETIC

Rom 2:13. For not the hearers of the Law are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

We Catholics have no problem reconciling those two statements. Let's see you do it.

============================================================

Romans 2:

13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.

14 When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.

15 They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them

16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

===========================================================

What's to reconcile? Let's not get into the stupid argument what "works" is.

Perhaps you can give your definition of what "work" is necessary to be a "doer" of the law.
