Your deduction is nonsense, as is the premise that Rome had a indisputable infallible canon prior to the Reformation, which you still will not admit they did not,
or that Rome’s authority is what really established Scripture,
or that Rome being an instrument for affirming truth would somehow negate the Reformation any more than the Jews being instruments and stewards of of revelation does.

RCs are blind to the fact that the church began in dissent from those historical heavyweights who, like Rome, presumed promises of preservation and authority gained them a level of assured veracity and perpetuation thru them, while the church was established on Scriptural substantiation and attestation, not the premise of assured formulaic infallibility which negates the need the weight of Scriptural substantiation, while assurance of the veracity of her decrees rests upon herself.

"Your deduction is nonsense..."

Unless you work for the IRS you have no authority to make that statement. My statements are demonstrations of fact. Your responses are, at best deductions.

A deduction is a conclusion that proceeds only from human reason, which as you have aptly demonstrated, is shaped by the limitation of human thought and education, bent by human passions, and thwarted by human prejudices. Whatever it might be it is not a proof. Your prejudices have caused you to actually reverse the inductive process. You have begun with a conclusion and assembled what ever premises you think support your conclusion.

Logically, the proper argumentative form is a demonstration. All I need to do to disprove your hypothesis and impeach your Reformation is demonstrate one instance in which it is false. The Church did an exhaustive, encyclopedic job of this at Trent. Quod Erat Demonstrandum.
