This Protestant criticism of Catholicism is ironic, since there is no support for Luther's doctrine of "the Bible ALONE" in Scripture.
Even more ironically, Luther didn't follow his own dictum, originally removing the book of James from his New Testament, and adding the word "alone" to Romans 3:28.
"Romans 3:28 states, "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law" (NKJV).Martin Luther, in his German translation of the Bible, specifically added the word "allein" (English 'alone') to Romans 3:28-a word that is not in the original Greek.
Martin Luther reportedly said, "You tell me what a great fuss the Papists are making because the word alone in not in the text of Paul…say right out to him: 'Dr. Martin Luther will have it so,'…I will have it so, and I order it to be so, and my will is reason enough. I know very well that the word 'alone' is not in the Latin or the Greek text" (Stoddard J. Rebuilding a Lost Faith. 1922, pp. 101-102; see also Luther M. Amic. Discussion, 1, 127)
You're comparing apples and oranges.
Are you discussing Scripture alone or salvation by faith alone?
2 Timothy 3:14-16 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Romans 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
At least Catholics are consistent, they excerpt others out of context, just like they do scripture. Why not post the context? Because it doesn't fit the agenda.
