Are you aware that the very "scriptures" on which you rely weren't compiled and canonized by the Catholic Church until 405?Please.......The scriptures I study were canonized by the Council of Jamnia (90 A.D.) and Our Lord Himself as stated in [Luke 24:44]. Notice....He does not include the spurious books of the Septuagint which automatically eliminates the Roman Church from any claim of Canon authority!
As far as the New Testament....the Apostles canonized each others work which is very easy to decipher. Sorry.....you folks were a day late....and a dollar short..... as usual.
Did you ever wonder about [Romans 3:1-2]?

Do you find it interesting that Jesus and his brother Jude used a book that was neither canonized by Jamnia nor by NT canonizers. The book of "Enoch" where the concept of the "elect" comes from and also a book that whoever wrote the NT book of Jude quotes from?

As you say, PLEASE... During the years 100-400, there were so many versions of everything floating around, and so many disagreements about the canon that nothing was "easy to decipher" and nothing canonized itself. It took the synods of the Catholic Church in the 4th Century to sort everything out.
On a related note, I have a question for you... Most of the criticisms of that you anti-Catholic folks make against the Church are equally applicable to our Eastern Orthodox brethren, yet you folks never seem to worry about them. Why is that?

Show me any reference to a "Council of Jamnia" between A.D. 90 and A.D. 1870. That gives you a good 1,780 years to look through. Then tell me how this is relevant to the collection and approval of the New Testament canon.
You don't have to do this right away. I realize you're busy.

You rely on a council that consisted of the same religious leaders that were the opponents of Our Lord? No wonder...
