Catholicism like judaism is a religion of law

The Church has laws, but the Church does noo claim them to be salvific. You will be saved if you imitate Christ in your life. If you break canon laws -- or to that matter any just civil law -- you will commit a sin and so fail to imitate Him.

no NT priesthood

Accroding to the Bible, it is: Luke 22:19, 1 Timothy 4:14, Matthew 28:18-20.

further sacrifices for sin (no penance either, or purgatory..no sacrifice for sin anymore )

The Mass is not a "further" sacrifice. It is simply the Sacrifice at the Golgotha. Both penance and prugatory are in the scripture; penance is all over it; the Purgatory is functionally explained in 1 Cor 3:8-15.

not from your OFFICIAL source the church

You need proof that the Church teaches what I explain? I thought our argument was whether the Catohlic doctrines are in accordance with the scripture. If you doubt that the Catholic doctrines are in accordance with the Catholic Church I am wasting my time.

the Purgatory is functionally explained in 1 Cor 3:8-15.

This is the judgement of BELIEVERS WORKS, where rewards will be given, NOT SALVATION, or a ticket out of "purgatory". (Gal. 6:8; Col. 3:24; Rom. 14:2; 2 Cor. 5:10).This judgement is in heaven (1 Cor. 9:24-27; Rom. 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10).

This judgement deals with the BELIEVER as a servant.
