I’ll stay with the word of the one true God contained in scripture.

No you won't, not for the least of which reason is the Scripture is not comprehensive enough to be used as the legalistic rule book Protestants make it into.

Protestants use all manner of extra-biblical inferences to view Scripture: they just don't admit it.

Protestants? Legalistic? That accusation coming from a Catholic? Seriously? When was the last time you heard of a Protestant having to go to confession for forgiveness of sins? How many Protestants do you hear make the comment that they don’t know if they lived a pure enough life to enter heaven? When have you heard a Protestant paying or praying for friends in purgatory hoping beyond hope that somehow someone somewhere atones for the sins of those in purgatory? I don’t know what Protestants you’re referring to but they certainly aren’t the Protestants I know.

Romans 4:7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

Put that Catholic propaganda that wants to keep you in bondage in the garbage and start getting into scripture to find the true freedom Christ brings.
