Check your church laws that were established at Trent.

Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.

A couple more laws that you might want to consider:

Canon 19. If anyone says that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel, that other things are indifferent, neither commanded nor forbidden, but free; or that the ten commandments in no way pertain to Christians, let him be anathema.

Canon 24. If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema.

Canon 27. If anyone says that there is no mortal sin except that of unbelief, or that grace once received is not lost through any other sin however grievous and enormous except by that of unbelief, let him be anathema.

“Your church demands it.”

Whether it does or doesn’t, it was claimed here by a Protestant that no Protestant at FR believes what the Bible actually teaches - that Peter is the Rock - a truth that some Protestant scholars to recognize. So, apparently you’re all automatons here all believing in the same thing and yet you’re out of touch with a part of Protestant scholarship. Thus, one of you admitted your group has no divergent view on the topic and is also ignorant and not in touch with Protestant scholarship. Ignorance all around on the Protestant side.
