The last thing I would say, is that you can't find anywhere in the Bible where it says to rely only on the Bible. Until Jerome translated the bible in the 400s into Latin, and nevermind widespread illiteracy, most Christians in the early days never had access to a Bible. John didn't even write the book of Revelation until he was an old old man, the last surviving apostle until something close to 100AD. Sacred tradition is also a thing we should respect.
While I agree with most of what you are saying I see you are going towards a Catholic bent. But I think you are a sincere person and not a godless shill so I respect that.
I recommend watching some of Ray Comfort's videos on Catholicism (where he preaches the gospel to Catholics) and tell me if what he says is true. I used to not like Ray but once I really started listening to him, I think his gospel is very solid.

Thanks, but I'll pass on the videos.
