Now if the RCC could only get their doctrines to comport with the Scriptures that they lay claim to, you guys would not be in such danger.

Actually, we're not in danger, but thanks for asking. We are completely compliant with Scripture, unlike the various inventions of men that litter the landscape.

Papalism, sacerdotalism, indulgences, mariolatry, sacraments, making of signs, and most of the other baggage added by Rome is nowhere to be found in the Book your clubhouse wants to own.

I'd spend some time investigating the OT if I want to understand the various rituals that the Catholic Church follows. It may prove illuminating. Jesus did not do away with everything that the Jews practiced, you know.

Ah, here is where we part company, my FRiend. Jesus fulfilled the Law and, in fact, it was done away with.

Gal. 3:21ff: Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. But the Scripture has shut up all men under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who JOIN THE RCC (oops, I mean "believe"). But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we may be justified by THE THINGS DICTATED BY ROME (oops, I mean "faith"). But now that faith has come, we are NO LONGER UNDER A TUTOR. For you are all sons of God through ADHERANCE TO ROME'S DOCTRINES (oops, I mean "faith in Christ Jesus")."

Where are all of these baggage items again? The RCC is the modern day Judaizer turning faith into Law. Such is not the New Covenant.
