There is nothing in Roman Catholicsm that is in scripture

All the sacraments of the Church are in the scripture, for starters. Catholic soteriology by grace through faith and conditional on good works is in the scripture. Obedience to bishops is in the scripture. Protestant distinctives, however, -- Bible Alone and Faith Alone are not in the scripture and contradict the scripture (James 2:14-26, 2 Tim 3:14-17).

No they don't contradict Scripture because there's no Scripture to tell us that we have to add tradition to Scripture and there's no Scripture that tells us that works save anyone.

The word *trinity* isn't in Scripture and the Catholic church teaches that.

The term *pope* isn't in Scripture and the Catholic church teaches that.

The ideas of the immaculate conception, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary are not in Scripture and the Catholic church teaches that.

Your argument that *sola Scriptura* and faith alone aren't in the Bible and contradicts Scripture is laughable in light of all that the Catholic church teaches as true that can't be found in the Bible and outright contradicts it.

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
