Re: justified by faith “without works”—this refers to works of the LAW (as your last 2 quotes make explicit), or the 613 Mitzvot of the Old Covenant... not to good works without which you and I would be relegated to the goat pen (cf. Matthew 25).

Re: Romans 4:5... where does it say that the person in question will be SAVED? (And worketh not most likely refers to the 613 Mitzvot, in keeping with what St. Paul wrote earlier, in 3:28, etc.).

Re: Romans 5:1... where does it mention faith ALONE?

Re: “oracles of God”... where in Scripture do you find THAT? And how do you prove from Scripture alone that the Catholic Church “added” them (which flies in the face of all sane readings of history, where the Septuagint—accepted by the Jews in the time of Christ—contained all the books which Protestantism deleted)?

Re: what the apostles taught... I’ve shown you more than enough. Now, it’s your turn: show me where Scripture shows that the Church, the pillar and foundation of the Truth, etc., against whom the gates of Hades will never prevail, could possibly lead anyone astray on these points, and that “what isn’t in Scripture can be dismissed”.

>>Re: “oracles of God”... where in Scripture do you find THAT?<<

Romans 3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the benefit of circumcision? 2 Great in every respect. First of all, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

>>where the Septuagint—accepted by the Jews in the time of Christ—contained all the books which Protestantism deleted)?<<

No, there were not and still are not to this day.

>>Re: what the apostles taught... I’ve shown you more than enough.<<

You have NEVER shown an infallible source that the apostles taught the assumption of Mary or many of the other things the Catholic Church teaches. For the assumption of Mary you showed a writing 700 years after the apostles with an assumption that there was no opposition and drawing from that a presumption. No proof that the apostles taught whatsoever.

>>the pillar and foundation of the Truth, etc<<

Pillars and foundation hold up things they don't build them. The ekklesia of Christ is to uphold the truths taught by Christ and the apostles, not add to them.

>>and that “what isn’t in Scripture can be dismissed”.<<

What isn't found in scripture taught by the apostles not only can but must be dismissed. And those that teach those things must be considered accursed just as Paul said.
