It is recognition. that unless Protestants can produce the OT prophecy to Simeon from Luke 2, their understanding of "The Word of God" stands falsified.

I just read Luke 2 and failed to see what you could possibly be saying, or even arguing for. I don’t like it when other people make me do work to figure out their own arguments, so please quote the scripture and explain what you mean, thoroughly, so I don’t argue against phantoms.
I notice you also dodged the other part of my post. Since you didn’t address it, I have no reason to take your arguments seriously, as it doesn’t appear that Roman tradition is, in fact, the “Word of God.”
“And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” does not mean that there needed to be a particular old testament prophesy written down — to assert that it does is to call the Holy Spirit a dead thing that cannot bring a person revelation (HS being divine makes tat a divine revelation), this is obviously in error as the HS’s role to reveal the truth of Christ (draw in the unsaved; John 16:13-14) would be unachievable.
