Anyone who reads the Holy Scripture seriously and in the historical context will become Catholic or Orthodox. What you described is a generic Protestant foolishness combined with ignorance of the teachings of the Catholic Church, which of course includes the Scripture. FR is a good place to learn. Please continue reading Catholic material such as the Radio Replies and feel free to ask questions. Truth will set you free.
I’m already free thanks to Jesus. You are the foolish one my friend. You wear your shackles with pride.
