If we apply the same principle of exegesis to this text that the Protestant does to 2 Timothy 3:16, then we would have to say that all we need is patience (steadfastness) to be perfected. We don’t need faith, hope, charity, the Church, baptism, or anything else.
There has been no response to this part of Tim Staples' argument. He took one verse out of the Bible and by doing so it appears that all we really need is patience, not Scripture to make us "complete" and "perfect". Perhaps we don't even need Scripture!
