All other denominations are offshoots. Where do protestants think the bible came from?

So your argument is that Rome was/is the instrument and stewards of Scripture, and thus they are its assuredly correct interpreter? Articulate.

that Rome was/is the instrument and stewards of Scripture,

If true, then some of the Catholics here failed that humility test from St whatever that was posted. Rather than receiving the honor of of being God's instrument in perpetuating the Scripture in humility there is a tendency to brag. As if God who could raise up children for Abraham from stones couldn't have raised another to safeguard His Word. With such a relationship, it is amusing to find so many touted doctrines that have no origination in Scripture, or required the stretching of the same until it is unrecognizable.

[Salvation]

"We are compelled to concede to the Papists
that they have the Word of God,
that we received it from them,
and that without them
we should have no knowledge of it at all."

~ Martin Luther

I guess the argument is, if you don’t trust the Catholic Church, then you cannot trust Scripture therewith.
