Many also look to the Westminister confession as representing their faith, like as even more choose to subscribe to the apostles creed, which evangelicals denoms overall do, and contend against those who deny its core truths.

But as you made a fallible decision to submit to the church of Rome (and disagree with the EOs and others to varying degrees), and interpret the nature and meaning of its declarations, so evangelicals do with past creeds, etc., without ascribing assured infallibility to the organs which gave them.

The church itself began in dissent from those who basically presumed their teaching required the same submission as that of Scripture, and authenticity based on formal decent, while the authenticity of Christ and the apostles was established upon conformity with Scripture and the attestation its provides being given to Truth.

And by which the born gain church of the living God continues to evidence it is such, esp by the gospel of grace which effects manifest regeneration in those who come to God as damned and destitute sinners, and thus trust the Lord Jesus to save them (not their merits or church) by His blood. To God be the glory.
