Most of Catholicism is biblical, and some of Protestantism isn’t. “Sola scripture” is not biblical, nor is salvation by faith alone.

You are afflicted with the same malady as the author of this piece...

He believed what his Catholic Church told him was the truth as well as you do, until he started searching the scriptures to find the real truth...

Very easily said, FRiend. Not so easily proven. I've yet to see you prove your case.

False generalization. If "searching the Scriptures and became non-Catholic" (e.g. the author of this article) is a true general principle, and if "searching the Scriptures and became Catholic" is also a true principle (e.g. John Henry Newman, Dr. Scott Hahn, Steven Ray, and innumerable others), then we have a logical problem, yes? I'd gently suggest that it's possible to "search the Scriptures" and be led astray (cf. 2 Peter 3:16-17)... and I assert that the author of the article did precisely that.
