Changing the subject again.Where is my apology for your false accusasions.
>What saved people before there were Bibles were printed was the Catholic Church, and She continues to save.<
This contradicts the Bible.Only faith in Jesus Saves.
Gal 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Gal 3:26 ¶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Contradicts?
Tell me, before there was a Bible, how were people saved if it were not for the Church? Who do you think Catholics worship? We worship Christ from the very beginning, our faith is in Him and since He was good enough to give us His Church until He returns, we have faith in Christ that He knows what He is doing and so we worship Him in His Church as He wanted, you obviously do not since you reject His Church and interpret the Bible according to your own notions.

It is the Catholic Church who interprets Scripture correctly.
“But in learning the Faith and in professing it, acquire and keep that only, which is now delivered to thee by the Church, and which has been built up strongly out of all the Scriptures....Take heed then, brethren, and hold fast the traditions which ye now receive, and write them and the table of your heart.” Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures, 5:12 (A.D. 350).
