Even the protestant’s great hero Luther said without Catholics there would have been no Bible. A little respect is due.

That's all you want, is a little respect? The problem is not only that the church of Rome today is critically and otherwise different than the NT church, but regardless, the often repeated we-gave-you-the-Bible assertion, if it is to have any real import, seems to be arguing that being an instrument and steward of Scripture makes such the infallible authority on it, so that those who dissent from these stewards are rebels against God. Affirm or deny?

I keep asking this because RCs keep making this polemical assertion, but will not answer my question as to its import.

“I keep asking this because RCs keep making this polemical assertion”

You mean the assertion that if not for the Catholic Church there would be no Bible? Not an assertion, it’s fact. Something that drives Catholic-hating protestants crazy. Protestants can’t change history. Deal with the truth and move on.
