Do Catholics agree these New Teatament books in the agreed upon Canon of NT books are infallible, without error?

Yes. Of course.

If Catholics and Protestants agree that the books of the New Testament are canonical and that they are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and as such are infallible......then we must be able to agree on much.

Such as the fact that Jesus Christ himself endorsed much of the canonical books of the Old Testament by quoting from them (therefore giving them authenticity).

He quoted from Job, from Jonah, from Psalms, from Daniel, from the Torah, and from many other books of the old Testament canon as viewed by Protestants.

As did the writers of the Gospels and the book of Acts and the letters and the Revelation....hundreds of references in the INFALLIBLE New Testament to the canonical books of the Old Testament. There was no need to say: The book of Isaiah is a legitimate canonical book of the Old Testament. By quoting that book, the Holy Spirit (author of the New Testament books upon which we agree are canonical and infallible)....gave those books their AUTHENTICATION ENDORSEMENT BY GOD HIMSELF.

To write all of the passages of the New Testament Scriptures which quote from the Old Testament canonical books would take way too much space since there are HUNDREDS of such references.

How can anyone say the Canon of Old Testament Scripture as endorsed by the Protestant Church has no logical support for its Canon?

That is, simply, an utterly untrue statement.
