The New Testament is only one of many Catholic traditions. I find it interesting that the Protestants accept that particular tradition and not the others.
Also, since the bible does not specify what is or what is not “scripture”, then how can “sola scriptura” be based on a particular collection of books?

Deuteronomy 4:2; Deuteronomy 8:3; Deuteronomy 12:32; Joshua 1:7-8; Psalms 119:105; Proverbs 30:5-6; Matthew 2:23; Matthew 4:4; Matthew 15:2-6; Mark 7:5-13; Luke 4:4; Luke 8:4-15; Luke 24:26-27; John 17:17; Acts 17:11; Galatians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Timothy 3:14-15; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Revelation 22:18-19
Hummer, Sola scriptura, "by scripture alone" means you don't have old fat men in power making up new rules

As Jesus prayed for the Apostles, He also prayed for those that believed on Him based on the testimony of the Apostles. This would be of primary importance once the Apostles had all died.
Their testimony is recorded for all time in the Scriptures.
The scriptures themselves are all that necessary for a person to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. See verse 20, below:
SOLA SCRIPTURA.......scriptures alone
And it's even more interesting that the Apostle taught the Old Testament scriptures, since the New had not yet been written in the years immediately following the start of their evangelistic mission on Pentecost.

In Genesis where Noah went up on the mountain and when he was coming down he saw two cousins kissing, and he yelled louder than he had ever yelled bfore: "Sola Scriptura!"
And another thing, it's not just the protestants who find this funny, it's also the Catholics; and neither of them will admit it. It makes me very sad.

Rev 22 18-19 And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words of this prophetic book, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
This warning is given to those who might purposefully distort the message in this book. Moses gave a similar warning in Deut 4:1-4 We, too, must handle the Bible with care and great respect so that we do not distort its message, even unintentionally. We should be quick to put its principals into practice in our life. NO HUMAN EXPLAINATION OR INTERPRETATION OF GOD'S WORD,should be elevated to the same authority as the text itself.

Since I have never heard that quotation, I don't know. (That is my answer). But would appreciate it if you could post another question explaining the meaning.
Thanks

"all scripture is God breathed..."
And the last chapter of Revelation.
