This is the strongest condemnation of Protestantism I know.

I can't see how efforts to condemn Protestants is viewed too highly with God. The foundation of salvation is faith in Christ, not whether one is Protestant or Catholic. God judges on faith in ones heart, and I would question how efforts to condemn fellow Christians demonstrates faith. In fact, it is pretty clear from the Bible that is not your job.

It is the same old “our church is the original blah blah...” The holier than thou attitude is one reason the Reformation was needed to undo the class structure the CC instilled.

Faith in Christ demands an interest in truth on your part. What you say is indifferentism: the belief that disputes between communities of faith on such core subjects as the role of the sacraments, priesthood, communion of saints, obedience to the Gospel are unimportant for salvation. This is a strange was to believe in Him Who said "I am the Truth", and also warned about many who will call on His name only to be told "Depart from me".

not your job

It is everyone's job to "satisfy every one that asketh you a reason of that hope which is in you". I do just that. You are the one who brought up "traditions of men", and they are condemned right in the Bible -- I didn't invent it.
