Catholics are the only ones that make that claim thus determining the rules by which the game is played and no one plays by the rules that the rule maker makes .... we learn that as kids.

We all agree or we don't play.

And if you insist it's your ball and if we don't play by your rules you'll take your ball and go home ... well ... we always let you go home.

I don't actually get what you're saying here. Are you saying that quoting the Bible, and interpreting Scripture with Scripture, are exotic rules and out of bounds?

How would you use some different, and more legitimate, rules to interpret Matthew 16:18-19?

This gives you a chance to illustrate better rules of hermeneutics. I'm here to learn.
