If you agree that Holy Tradition can stand for something as long as it does not contradict scripture, which is infallible and was birthed from it, then we have no argument.

The first statement of this article says Catholics agree with Protestants that Scripture is a "standard of truth"—even the preeminent one—but not in a sense that rules out the binding authority of authentic apostolic Tradition and the Church

If you say you have never "heard" anyone say it doesn't, I ask -- haven't you "read" anyone -- especially here on the RF, members of the PCA or OPC say that?

First of all, I wish you a Happy New Year!

What I have read and what I hold as well, is that saying "tradition" along with the "teaching Magesterium" are to be held at the same level of esteem as Scripture, is not correct. Only the Scriptures that are given to us by God should be held as infallible. And, like you stated, all doctrines of the Christian faith should be founded in Scripture. It is fine with me for churches to have their own traditions, but when they claim that their traditions are "of the faith" - de fide - and they cannot be proven from Scripture, then they cannot demand Christians to hold to them.
