Not at all. The Protestant presumption is that CORE CHRISTIAN BELIEFS (the Real Presence, Sacraments, works, etc.) believed between the Pentecost and the early 16th century was somehow wrong. I'm not even going to bother addressing the convenient historical revisionism here. My point remains: you presume your institution is the sole possessor of the fullness of Christian truth in order to prove it. Self-referential arguments do not justify false dichotomies.
