I just bring up these lists of non-Scriptural terms because it is a commonplace that "Sola Scriptura" people take as cornerstones of their faith, stuff that isn't even in Scripture. (Like "Sola Scriptura.")

It's not something that can be applied reciprocally to Catholics, because we have never claimed nor aspired to be "Sola Scriptura." Thus the employment of words and concepts not found in the sacred text, is not a contradiction or a problem for us. We freely and gratefully rely, also, on Sacred Tradition and the authority which Christ gave His Church.

But, where did He give Rome the authority...Scripture? So, solely based on Scripture you argue for authority, but not for the message...unless the message matches a non-biblical tradition...which has authority due to Scripture...but does not comport with Scripture...but
