the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. (John 14:26) Observe: the Holy Ghost will speak in all times. The Holy Scripture is not mentioned even though, of course, the Holy Ghost inspired it as well.

As you have abundantly shown, even WHEN the Scriptures are given to you that prove sola Scriptura and sola fide, you reject them anyway. That's why I find it awfully disingenuous for you to place your church OVER Divinely-inspired Scripture. Just what exactly do you imagine the Holy Spirit "bringing to remembrance whatsoever I have said to you" means other than the enscripturation of Jesus' teachings? We have FOUR gospel accounts that do that and we also have the continued revelation from God to the early believers in the form of WRITTEN epistles. Do you trust the memory alone of sinful men to ensure God's truth remains pure? The Old Testament books were examples of the prophets of the Lord writing down His revelation - under God's instructions to do just that - so that we have His truths preserved for all time. Heaven and earth will pass away but the word of God will never pass away.

The Holy Spirit speaks in all times THROUGH the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures and is who opens hearts to receive it and believe so that we are saved. It is why even the first Christians NEVER accepted the seven Apocyrphal books as equal to what they KNEW was divinely inspired Scripture. Maybe it's the Catholic's Bible that needs circumcision - the extraneous foreskin of humanly devised fables, myths, legends and musings don't belong with God's sacred word.

Sola fide is specifically rejected by the Apostle James. We are not saved by faith alone. The LORD Jesus warns us over and over again. Let those with ears to hear, actually hear and not deceive themselves.

When was that?

The Holy Spirit speaks in all times THROUGH the Holy Spirit inspired Scriptures

No. John 14:26 did not add "THROUGH", etc. You made it up. That is the quality of all your proof-texts: traditions of men and wishful thinking of men and a few verses without context for a cover-up.
