Lutero:
Scripture describes the Church. And it is the Catholic Church which is revealed in Scripture:

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Ephesians 3:10

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Which Church provides Baptism of water?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Acts 22:16

16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

2 Timothy 2:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
Etc. etc.
The Catholic Church is described in Scripture.
Acts 2
King James Version (KJV)
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
2 Timothy 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But Protestant preach "Do not hold tradition. Hold to Scripture ALONE!"
Scripture says:
James 2:24
King James Version (KJV)
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
But Protestants preach, "We are justified by faith ALONE!"
And many other things Protestant preach which DIRECTLY contradict the Word of God.
Sincerely,
De Maria
Catholics substitute themselves for the church.

The Catholic Church is described in Scripture.
As shown above, Scripture describes the Church. And Scripture also explains that one enters the Church via Baptism:
They think only they are it and have no clue....despite Scripture.....as to what the church is or how one enters it.
Acts 2
King James Version (KJV)
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Exactly! Why don't you believe it? 1 Tim 3:15
The Bible says the church is the pillar and ground of truth
and besides them thinking they are the church, they don't even get at all what the Scripture is saying. I've broken it down a couple of times and explained it as clearly as possible and they still can't get it. Scripture does not give final authority to the church to make up as it chooses.Who said it does? Certainly not the Catholic Church.
It is your doctrines which are at odds with Scripture. Let us see, Scripture says:
The real church knows this. We know it's God's infallible Scriptures that we are the pillar and ground of. The RCC cannot possibly be the pillar and ground of truth since their teachings are at odds with God's Scriptures.
2 Timothy 2:15
King James Version (KJV)
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
But Protestant preach "Do not hold tradition. Hold to Scripture ALONE!"
Scripture says:

But Protestants preach, "We are justified by faith ALONE!"
