The Bereans in Acts 17 I mentioned, were not searching the scriptures to see if worshiping in a church building was in the Bible, or if a certain mode of transportation was in the Bible (you said cars).
The Bereans were anti-paganism Jews. They would have vetted the idolatry practised by Papists as smacking of paganism.
Papists are irritated with Protestants, like the Bereans, who see the Papacy as a paganized Christian institution.
“Protestantism is an effort to restore primitive Christianity free from all paganism.” Halley’s Bible Handbook, p. 758
And to you I say AMEN. Well said, sir
