Practically all of Christian denominationalism -- whether mainstream Protestants or the non-denominational denominations -- agree with Catholics on *what* the New Testament says.
The problem is their disagreements about what the New Testament *means* on critical issues, as well as what those critical issues even are.
"Bible alone" (sola scriptura) manifestly just doesn't work.
We have to obey St. Paul's instructions to keep the traditions passed on by word of mouth or by letter (2 Thess. 2:15) -- which is to say, not by letter alone.
