Catholics explain this thusly: ...Evangelical and Fundamentalist Protestants, who place their confidence in Martin Luther’s theory of sola scriptura (Latin: "Scripture alone"), will usually argue for their position by citing a couple of key verses.

I wasn't even talking about sola Scriptura, so I couldn't care less what Catholic Answers has to say about it. From what you posted, they don't get it, either. However, what I did say was:

What IS clear is that the ONLY authority we have to know what are or are not those major tenets of the Christian faith is Holy Scripture. That is why God gave it to us, why it has been preserved all these thousands of years and why ALL claims for truth must be measured BY it - not men - no matter what their claim to authority is. Like the Apostle John was inspired to write:

Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. (John 20:30-31)

If a denomination gets that part wrong, then who knows how far they might wander from all the rest of what makes up the faith?

My point remains, we were given Holy Scripture so that we would have an objective, authoritative and reliable resource to know what ARE the doctrines we must believe to have everlasting life. I still believe that.

Catholic Answers did answer you post, IMO. Aren't you sola Scriptura? Isn't that what you base your faith on, the Bible alone? CA goes on to address that very Bible verse you quoted.

P.S.: Anyone who refers to the Eucharistic Lord as a “wafer,” as you have done in the past, gets only about a thimblefull of respect from me.... you are highly insulting to Catholics (and Jesus!)...

And before the Bible was canonized and all the false writings were weeded out, what did they go by a warm fuzzy feeling, or the burning in the bosom as the LDS claims?

Oh that's right we had the magisterium.
