They read more Scripture, I thought, in a weekday Mass than we read in a Sunday service.There are many more of these weird assertions throughout this testimony.
"Weird" it may be to you. But it is also "true". I've attended services several times (sometimes dozens) each at Presbyterian, Methodist, Charismatic/Evangelical nondenominational, and almost every flavor of Baptist. There is no question that they do "read more Scripture" at a liturgical church (including Lutheran, Anglican/Episcopalian and Orthodox) than at any of the other churches.
Now, an attendee at you're average "Baptist" church will likely hear appreciably more preaching about Scripture, but not "more Scripture". Too often it's cherry-picked verses in three or four places to support a point.

Being ignorant of Protestant services (other than televised "events"), I appreciate your input IMRight, and am glad to see support for Scott's conversion story (which was very stirring, imho).
I'd guess that most, if not all of us can recall from personal experience a "weird" thing about religion. Just the other day I rehashed what an eye-opener it was reading a number of books about Islam. When I read some excerpts of their book, it was "weird"... in one case in particular it was so because the verse was pretty! :-)

Thank you and bless you for your honesty.
