—— to support an extra-Biblical practice ——
Protestantism is BASED on the extra-biblical tradition of Sola Scriptura.
Wrong yet again!
"We speak where the Bible speaks, and we are silent where the Bible is silent."
Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other.

And unlike the church, it is wholly inspired of God, and formally sufficient in that a person may read it and be saved and grow in grace, and is materially sufficient in providing for reason, natural revelation, the church and its magisterium, etc. which is needed for the perfection of the saints.
While formal sufficiency aspect is limited and refers to a complete canon, yet before its completion Scripture also evidences recognition of both men and additional writings as being of God due to their Divine qualities and attestation (not due to an infallible decree from Rome), and thus accordingly it provides for recognition of a canon in the light of the recognition of a lack of writings from God.
