Nonsense. Show me a bible prior to the Reformation that does not have the disputed books. The Canons of Hippo and Carthage list them (late 4th and early 5c).
The Hebrew canon, which was settled by 100 AD, didn’t contain the deutero-canonical texts.
The Old Testament Apocrypha books were not in the Hebrew Old Testament which is what the church accepted as being Canonical.
Jerome rejected them as being part of the Inspired Canon.
Jeromes own Vulgate did not regard them as part of the Canon and he stated so in it.
