Protestants need to convert

On the Catholicism website, I found a comment by PeacebyJesus to which I responded.

  I think the first question I would ask you is, what is the basis for your assurance of truth?

  The Word of God passed down by Jesus Christ in the deposit of faith which He entrusted to the Church.

  For it seems that the RC argument is that an assuredly (if conditionally) infallible magisterium is essential for valid assurance of Truth and to fulfill promises of Divine presence, providence of Truth, and preservation of faith. (Jn. 14:16; 16:13; Mt. 16:18)

  That is correct. Scripture explicitly states that the Church is the instrument by which God conveys His word and wisdom to the world:

  Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

  1 Timothy 3:15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

  And that being the historical instruments and stewards of Divine revelation (oral and written) means that Rome is that assuredly infallible magisterium.

  As confirmed in Scripture. Since the Catholic Church continues to hold to Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture as admonished by the Apostle, so to do:

  2 Thessalonians 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

  Thus those who dissent from the latter are in rebellion to God.

  Again, very true and in conformity with the Word of God in Scripture which says that the Church represents God:

  2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

  Therefore, anyone who rebels against the Church, rebels against the Church which He sent:

  Luke 10:16

  He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

  Does this fairly represent what you hold to or in what way does it differ??

  That fairly presents the Catholic and Scriptural Teaching. Thank you.
