...the theology that Scripture alone is sufficient for salvation for the unbelievers and for the Christian in growth and maturity into Christlikeness.

It’s amazing what Bible literalists Catholics can be when it suits them.

So you’re appealing to Scripture to demonstrate that Scripture is not adequate?

The irony........

Yet it does IF read in context. The clear consistent appeal to Scripture is seen in both Old and New Testaments.

The phrase, "it is written" shows the reliance upon the written word. This phrase alone appears 76 times in the Bible; 16 in the OT and 60 in the NT. Paul employed this term 16 times in Romans along.

What Rome wants to say is the three positive uses of "tradition" in Scripture include everything that Rome espouses today.

That is demonstrably false...if one reads those passages in context.
