Protestants look at Christianity in the vacuum of the Bible We are reminded that they do not look at the entire Bible either, thus large swaths of Christian theology, such as Communion of Saints and treasure of merits remain off limits.
It is actually worse that merely separating a part of the tradition, -- written canonical Word that is -- and ignoring the rest. Ignorance of Tradition is ignorance of the Scripture. On this thread, for example, we see an utter unability to profitably read a plain canonical text because of the perverse urge to reject the traditional understanding.

Ignorance of Tradition is ignorance of the Scripture That is sadly funny.
You have the Christians on here urging you all to believe the Bible and trust that what Christ said is true, and you have the catholic on this thread making major contortions to try and prove why the Bible isn't accurate or tue or doesn't mean what it says.
The ignorance my friend, does not lie with us.

Aren't you really saying that because we read the SCRIPTURES and see a clear meaning that disagrees with what your magisterium and unwritten, unverified, tradition has determined you can't understand it?

Yes, on this very thread we've seen quote-based believers and also persons who doubt the very nature of scripture -- stating that Paul's writings may not all be inspired.
