Galatians 2:15-21
 
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

So true; they MUST do SACREMENTS instead!

One final point:

Earlier I noticed a post (can't find it now) where you asked me where in the Bible the Noachide Laws may be found (yet another issue between Protestants and Catholics that has nothing to do with the claims of Judaism).

Where do you think the vowels and punctuation in the Hebrew Bible come from? Because there certainly aren't any vowels or punctuation in the written Hebrew Bible as dictated/inspired by G-d. The vowels and punctuation are instead part of the Oral Torah, just as are the Noachide Laws and hundreds of other things.

If you are going to reject everything not in the written Bible, you're going to have to deal with a list of consonants with no vowels or punctuation. And since all translations of the Bible are based on an acceptance of the trustworthiness of the Oral Tradition when it comes to vowels and consonants, then I guess you're going to have to get rid of all your Bible translations, since every single one of them is based not on the pure list of consonants alone, but on the "doctrine and commandments of men" which vocalizes and punctuates them!

Can't Protestants realize that not every opponent is Roman Catholicism and that anti-Catholic apologetics do not apply universally to arguments with other religions?
