What I was trying to do was make a point without adding names, specifically,to the comment.

What one little back and forth revealed was that there are Protestants (protesters of Rome) in the world that are sensitive to any questioning of certain roman teachings that Protestants share with Rome..
In this case, the first/chief importance of the gospel.

Some Protestants and protesters of Rome have either been unwilling or not led to test and prove all things,even all things Rome. I am a protester of Rome that is/has.

So, there are some roman teachings that are okay to Protestants and not an arguable/debatable teaching.
I presented one that appears to be in that territory.

Not that the teaching/doctrine isn’t false- it is false teaching, but it is shared by so many Protestants that it really isn’t seen as a roman teaching to too many Protestants, but it is seen as a Christian teaching.

That there in lies the ironic twist of Catholic vs Protestant..
In this case, it’s mother and daughters vs. Sola Scriptura.
It’s mother and daughters vs His Word
It’s Rome and protesters of Rome vs. protesters of Rome.

Being on the side of Sola Scriptura, His Word as a protester of Rome is usually a comfortable spot for Protestants to be.
In this case, they aren’t on that side.

And it is probably very difficult to understand as it doesn’t fit the neat arguments that go round and round in Catholic vs Protestant debates/arguments/circles.
A protester of Rome inserted something that doesn’t fit the normal course of fruitful discourse found in Catholic vs Protestant squabbles. It challenged Protestants as much as it challenged Rome and Roman Catholics.

Prots tend to actually BELIEVE the book that Rome assembled: the Bible.

But Rome's followers have ventured far afield in adding things to their belief system that are NOT biblical.
