We’re not the ones who left the Fortress of God and wandered far afield, setting up pale, frail, and man-made imitations of the real deal. You guys have an incomplete, abridged and mutilated Bible. When your Scripture is complete, and adequately translated, we’ll be able to talk apples and apples.
We follow the teachings of Jesus, not a murdering theological thug who imposed an iron despotic rule upon Geneva.
A mutilated Bible?
Arguably some of the finest Roman Catholic theologians of the Middle Ages rejected the legends and prejudices of the ancient apocryphal books, just like Luther and later Evangelicals agreed--in accord with the Jews, who are after all who wrote them, who rejected these books as canonical in the 1st Century. It wasn't until Trent, 80% of the delegates who were Italian... (and just how representative was that of the Roman Church at that time?), that just because Luther et al. rejected the Apocrypha, made it mandatory.
Just what parts of "Bel and the Dragon", the ridiculous, fanciful and superstitious story of "Tobit," and the rest, do you refer to for any, any at all, important doctrines?
Sorry, I just have to laugh when Romanists mention the Apocrypha. Most have read it about as much as they have read the real Bible...

Perhaps you don’t remember the number of Popes who made murder, extortion (you might call some it indulgences), & despotic rule the way of the land. Before you crucify falsely one of the most brilliant and God gifted theologians of all time, you might ought to remember your own history and butchery that would make many of todays religious fanatics green with envy. And, if I understand aright Catholic belief, we have yet to see this “anti-Pope” and the most bloody religious ruler of all time.
And you trot out the Servetus card when he would have been killed by Rome and would have been just one of a multitude of heretics burned by Rome about that time.
