“Changing words and adding words...”

Exactly - Wycliff’s bible in the English vernacular took particular care to mistranslate words (priest, church, and charity) which elimates any truh to the statemnt that that person’s (who is using Wyclirff’s bible) view is based on scripture.

Wycliff mistranslated church into congregation.
Luther added the word alone to Romans 3:28.
Luke 1:28 is Full of grace in the original language and falsely rended by protesants as highly favored one ...

Protestants are actually the ones who have twisted and distorted words and phrases, and eliminated entire books, since the 14th century when they began their agenda.

The protestants actually do what they claim the Catholics do as far as mangling scripture and then citing it in cherry picked verses to maintain such fallacies as Faith alone that is NOT mentioend once in the bible.

2 Timothy 3 does not say scripture alone - Catholics certainly believe that all scripture is inspired.

Wycliff didn't write the bible of the Reformation...I don't own or read a Wycliff bible...

Wycliff mistranslated church into congregation.

You mean as opposed to a called out assembly of believers (who make up a congregation???

Act_8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

Act_15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

Well, there we can see clearly that the church is NOT a magisterium made up of apostles, elders and bishops...The church is the people in the pews as defined by the bible...

So where does the Catholic religion get its definition of ecclesia and what does it mean???

Luther added the word alone to Romans 3:28.

Rom 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

I wonder where Luther got that idea...Perhaps from the apostle to the Gentile church???

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Is that the cherry picking you are referring to???

Luke 1:28 is Full of grace in the original language and falsely rended by protesants as highly favored one ...

You pull up that original bible and we can have something to discuss...
