Catholics will take a reference to "traditions" in 1 Corinthians 11:2 and interpret it as referring to their traditions. Many of the so-called "proof-texts" require Catholic pre-suppostions. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15, the natural reading is that the "fire" is a metaphor for the testing of our works to determine Heavenly reward (it is the work that is set to the fire, not the person). This does not conflict with Jesus paying all the penalty for sins, but the Catholic reading their doctrine of Purgatory into it does. It also does not say that we are burned and tortured until the sin is purged.

It addresses not only the language of the verse, but the concept of successors and what power they had. Again, Protestant interpretation does not conflict with only God forgiving sins, but Catholic does.
