"The Bible is a fallible collection of infallible books" --R. C. Sproul

Which affirms every book in it is infallible, and thus the list would be without error, but not under the premise of assured conciliar infallibility. And yet the canon could mean it could potentially include additions to it. Note both the OT writings as well as men of God as were recognized and established as being such without a perpetual infallible magisterium, contrary to RC polemics which make the latter necessary for the former.

And which were essentially est. due to their Divine qualities and attestation. It was closed because there were none that matched these qualities and became spiritual classics.

And while Trent provided the first indisputable canon after Luther died, it is argued among Catholics whether this est. those books as Divine but did not exclude any others, as the EO's generally hold to a bit larger canon. http://forums.catholic.com/showpost.php?p=9070869&postcount=14 Meaning no one possesses
