BK, I've never heard of "solo" scriptura. I had to look it up. If nothing else, it's grammatically incorrect Latin. And upon reading, that's the least of its errors.

The Reformers rebelled against the post-schism Church of Rome. You stated that they accept the first three Councils, which (in order)

1. Established the Creed and rejected Arianism;

2. Clarified the creed into its present (non-philioque) form; and

3. Renounced Nestorianism and proclaimed it appropriate to refer to Mary as Θεοτόκος, or Theotokos.

I can see no reason why they would reject the subsequent 4 councils, but, oh, well. Much of the Protestantism that I grew up with was simply a rejection of anything Roman.

You do know that a group of Lutheran scholars reached out to the Patriarch of Constantinople in the late 16th century?
