So then, you admit here that your faith is based on the interpretations of the Scriptures taught to you by your preferred recently-invented, man-made non-Catholic sect, correct?
As for your claims that Catholicism supposedly "misinterprets the Scriptures" and teaches "non-Scriptural traditions of men": Post your proof.

Maybe because the RCC organization ADD Mary as the savior, transubstantiation, purgatory, etc., to the FINISHED work of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary?

Oh how many, exclaims the Abbot of Celles, who merits to be condemned by the divine justice,
are sved by the mercy of Mary! for she is the treasure of God and the treasure of all graces; therefore it is that
our salvation is in her hands. Let us always then have recourse to this mother of mercy, and confidently
hope to be saved by means of her intercession;
since she, as Bernardine de Bustis encourages us to believe,
is our salvation,
our life,
our hope,
our counsel,
our refuge,
our help.
Mary is that very throne of grace, says St. Antoninus, to which the apostle exhorts us to have recourse with confidence, that we may obtain the divine mercy, with all needed help for our salvation.
To the throne of grace, that is, to Mary, as St. Antoninus remarks. Hence, Mary was called by St. Catherine of Sienna: The dispenser of divine mercy:
‘Administratrix misericordiae’ (The Glories of Mary, translated from the Italian of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Founder of the Congregation of the Holy Redeemer — New Edition 1852 — Copyright, 1888 by P.J. Kenedy).
