Do you read the Bible or just disregard it's importance, and defer to Roman tradition as gospel and worship Mary instead of Jesus? I'm a Protestant, Rome doesn't tell me what to do, the Word of God does.
I've read the entire Bible more than once. The Protestant Church I go to bases EVERY message on the Bible and we also work through the Bible chapter by chapter.

"bases EVERY message..." -- well in that case which does it hold to?
What is it's stand on:
- something as basic as Jesus was always God (Trinitarian position) or that Jesus Christ was man made God (Oneness PENTECOSTAL Protestant position) or the Angel Michael (Seventh Day Adventist Ellen G White teaching) -- all three use scripture alone to justify their points of view and have three diverge in their points of view
- he REAL Presence of Christ in the Eucharist (Lutheran, some Anglicans, maybe even Methodists), or is it just a symbol (as your post said)?
- talking in tongues -- does one HAVE to talk in tongues (Oneness Pentecostal) to display faith or not?
- and the episcopate (bishops etc.) -- some who have scripture alone have it, some don't
- Do you read in scripture alone whether Baptism is for infants and sufficient (Presbyterian etc.) or not (Baptists)?
- God pre-damns people to hell (Calvinism) or not (others)
- Jesus came only for the salvation of a few (Calvinists) or he was Savior of the world (everyone else)?
- agree or disagree with soul sleep?
- worshipping on a Sunday (Presbyterians, Pentecostals etc.) or not (Seventh Day Adventists)
- agree with the Adventists that one should follow kosher laws or not?
- and spiritual gifts like prophecy amongst us (Pentecostals) or not (Presbyterians)
- "slain in the spirit" (Pentecostalism) or not (Presbyterianism, Lutheranism etc)
- Regeneration comes through Baptism (Lutheranism) or not (Baptists)
- do you read that grace can be resisted (Pentecostalism, Lutheranism, Methodism) or not (Calvinism)
- is baptism is three-fold (Mennonites) or not?
- imputed righteousness (Calvinism) or not (Mennonites)
