We get purgatory, indulgences, praying for the dead, treasury of merit, transubstantiation, Maryolatory and clerics who place themselves above other Christians as "another Christ".

EXACTLY!

And in their refusal to hold themselves and their faith accountable to the word of God, they absorb pagan beliefs, empty rituals, "vain jangling," and worst of all, they misunderstand what true justification means -- saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." -- 2 Timothy 4:2-4

A great verse to read Matt. 18:15-18 in context with.
