"Furthermore, you give examples from 1215. The first protesters and reformatters were in the 1500s. "

Irrelevant and more absurdity. Besides schisms preceding the needed Reformation, the first protesters and reformatters is that Rome itself, seeing as distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels). And having added books to the most ancient OT canon,

the protocanonical books of the Old Testament correspond with those of the Bible of the Hebrews, and the Old Testament as received by Protestants.” “...the Hebrew Bible, which became the Old Testament of Protestantism.” (The Catholic Encyclopedia>Canon of the Old Testament; htttp://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03267a.htm) The Protestant canon of the Old Testament is the same as the Palestinian canon. (The Catholic Almanac, 1960, p. 217) And as far as "reformat" is concerned, scandal of the Sistine Vulgate by the zealous Pope Sixtus V

Which has seen such extensive debate here already, and refutation of the RC position, by the grace of God that it warrants no more here.

highly relevant — 1215 and 1500 were nearly 3 centuries apart.

It’s like you arguing about the Indian wars in context of the Gulf war.
