The group that claims to have been around 2000 years has only dogmatically defined a very small number of passages in the New Testament. IIRC, it's less than 40.

So how is a Roman Catholic supposed to know what is the "correct interpretation" of the texts????

They can't so it makes it easy for Catholics to tell a non-Catholic that whatever interpretation of Scripture they use or make, they are wrong.

Then the Catholics can take the unsupportable position of being the only ones to be able to *correctly* "interpret" Scripture, when that has not ever been dogmatically done by Rome except for those few verses.

So what the Catholic apologist is left with in the vast majority of cases is their own personal interpretation of Scripture.
