A much more accurate view would be Prima (Primarily ...) Scriptura and Prima Ecclisa.

I reject the Catholic jurisdiction over my faith. So, no thank you to Prima Ecclisa. Or any other compromise. Just like no one can go to the bathroom for me, no man can be accountable for me in front of Gods Judgement Throne. I am accountable. I confess to God not a priest.

My post was not to imply any authority. I was mearly stating that both sides have the other’s positions over simplified. Most Protestants are accused of being Sola Scriptura by the Catholics. However, when I speak with Protestants, they will tell you that yes, they have traditions and yes they allow the holy spirit to move in their lives and yes, what they pastors or deacons say to them is important.

But

Most protestants also tell me that they will weigh what inspiration they receive, regardless of the source against scripture. So Scripture is not the only (sola) source of inspiration but it does have primacy over all others (prima). So my point is that if Catholics want to use proper labels, they should say Prima Scriptura.

Likewise, the opposite is true for the Catholic faith. They should be called Prima Ecclisa as they check all inspiration against what the priesthood has to say.
