You can’t have it both ways.

You can't, but I'm not a Catholic, being one of the 'Lutherists' to use your expression. To the extent that something Scriptural came from these councils, I accept it. I'm not bound nor is any other Christian bound by the twenty-eight disciplinary canons of Chalcedon for instance.

Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't include Trent.

Why didn’t I include Trent?

If you don’t accept Chalcedon, why would you accept Trent?

If you accept all the others, then we can talk about Trent. The problem with thinking that this is Catholic only, is that this isn’t at all a ‘Catholic’ issue.

These are issues across all protestant denominations.

If we regard as you do, then no one is bound by a Church council. We can’t simply accept what we want and leave the rest. The same is with the problem of authority. If the Church called the councils and they are authoritative, then the question is why we ought to be out of communion?
