The local churches had the scriptures long before any Council recognized them offically.

True. These churches were Catholic, and the scriptures were complete, with the Deuterocanons.

The rest of your post is not worth time responding.

The local churches were not 'Catholic', they were Christian and met in houses.(Rom.16:5)

The scriptures that these local churches had did not have the Apocrypha in them, they were added in the 3rd century coming with Origen's corrupt LXX

True Christians had the Old Testament that the Lord used, the Jewish Canon, which did not have the Apocrypha in it.

Thank you, you saved me time in repudiating more RCC nonsense.
