There are many teachings both Catholic and Protestant that are Extra-Biblical

I am well aware. But two things: 1) I am not, nor is this board, a generalized version of Protestantism; and 2) we were discussing specifically Catholic doctrines, and a specifically Catholic problem which is related to the Roman Church's dogmatic foundations.

While you won't find anyone reasonable in Rome who would say the original Bible isn't inerrant as it is the word of God inspired through the blessed writers- Rome is weary to proclaim that all Bibles are infallible for one simple reasons- translations.

Kinda like the Mormons. But the real problem for Rome is not one of Bible translations, it's one of dogmatic foundations on patristic, conciliar, and papal theology and traditions.

Hebrew -> Greek -> Latin -> German -> English -> tons of translations (NIV, NKJV, LB, NASB...etc)

Many modern "translations" are no such thing. But those that are actually translations, such as the NASB, aren't translating Hebrew to Greek to Latin to German to English. They're translating Hebrew to English and Greek to English (using the LXX and early Vulgate for comparison). There are certainly places where English rendering can be challenged, but we're not leagues and leagues away from the original texts. Faithful modern translations contain the same word of God, and it is only prevarication to say otherwise -- as though semantic barriers between languages were so thick they could never be overcome to any significant degree. Honestly, does Rome treat the early church fathers the same way? "Well, we can't be entirely sure that this is really what they meant because something is always lost in translation, you know."

Also, a less subtle change came from the translation from the Vulgate to German by Martin Luther when he added the word "Alone" to "Being therefore justified by faith"
That's a pretty big change right there.

More a gloss than a mistranslation. But Martin Luther's translation is not the issue.
