::It does not say "the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith alone". <br>It does not say "All scripture is inspired by God as the sole rule of faith". <br>It does not say that faith alone is enough, but it says that the scriptures make us "equipped for every good work". "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ep 2:10

:James says "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." James 2:24. <br>Martin Luther contradicted this doctrine. He said James is a "strawy epistle" and that he found nothing of the Gospel in it, and removed it to an appendix of uninspired writings in his German Bible. <br> The Bible is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, but works are necessary, since a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. The Bible is authoritative, but not by itself alone.

::I can speak freely because I am from a devout Catholic background. While I have embraced the teachings of Luther, Wesley, and even Calvin, I'm the first guy to get offended when my Protestant brethren trash talk the Catholic church. I am Catholic in the true sense as articulated in the ''Epistolen Katholika'' (I used to like tweeking Lutherans by explaining to them how they really are Catholic).
::Anywho, IMO, the Catholic bureaucracy is kinda like the Deep State of organized Christianity. It's become corrupted with the doctrines of men. They have watered down the Word of God. But I can attest, the Word is still there, cause I heard it and learned it from an early age. I had to go through a period of detox as all bible believing Catholics do, of separating man made church doctrine from the Word of God to understand God's message.
