And the New Testament writers he inspired were all Catholic Christians. Those who later decided which works to canionize and which not to canonized were Catholic Christians. God dictated the scripture to the Church, who then gave it to you.

Wishful thinking.

Claiming they were Catholic in hindsight does not make them Catholic.

Since they were true Christians, the writers of the NT were obviously Protestant Christians since they taught salvation by grace through faith.

Please, hyper-partisanship from whichever side serves no good purpose. In this case it is also anachronistic.

The human writers of the Holy Scripture were Catholic because everything they wrote the Catholic Church teaches today, and always has. They were demonstrably not Protestant because Protestantism believes that salvation is through faith alone, and the scripture says the exact opposite.
