Liek for example your five solas are that, slogans. They are not theology. TULIP is a set of slogans. Now, some of these slogans are quite good, — there is nothing wrong for example with Grace Alone. But the Protestant method all revolves about such bumper sticker rhetoric. Mention the role of works in salvation and what do you guys roll out? “Aha you want to save yourself without Christ.” It is hard to argue against such childishness.
Your interest in the scripture is phoney too. There are too many prooftexts that work against you, so despite all the chest-beating about the Word of God, your actual arguments are all vague paraphrases, that break as soon as the actual scriptural text is examined.

A comment that is as classy as your argument is convincing.
I have hit upon what it is like to dialogue with you, annalex:
Any attempt at such should be called Annalex in Wonderland:
The supporting cast of characters would include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. The White Rabbit who leads Annalex into Wonderland is “Holy Tradition.”
2. The Cheshire Cat who smiles and disappears is the “Sacred Priesthood.”
3. The Caterpillar with hookah and mushrooms is the “Magisterium.”
4. The Jabberwock, the frightful creature, is the “Holy Inquisition.”
5. The Queen of Hearts is, of course, the fictitious “Queen of Heaven,” who has replaced the Scriptural Mary.
6. The King of Hearts, bumbling, ineffectual, and contradictory is the papacy.
