That’s a good way of putting it.The ’ catholics aren’t christian argument is analogous to people from the west coast of the US saying that people from the northeast aren’t americans.
My dad is a protestant but doesn’t like the term because he insists that there was a Christianity that has existed ever since Jesus’ times that resembled something more like the Church of Christ than the RCC despite the utter lack of supporting evidence.

and sola scriptura ( or even prima scriptura ) is like using the federalist papers as the sole source of federal government principle without considering anything else as equally important.

Maybe he means the Eastern Orthodoxy, by James, Brother of Our Lord Jesus Christ?
Because when he was asked" What shall we do, if you fall?"Jesus said "Go to my brother, James?

Hmmm… I like this analogy. Could we say it’s like trying to use the constitution without recognizing the authority of the supreme court?
Actually, sola scriptura is the exact opposite. The constitution is the supreme law of the land - the final norm. In the analogy, the Supreme Court acts as the Church does, in interpreting the supreme law (hermeunetics), the final norm. All laws (doctrines) and lawmakers (teachers) are therefore held accountable to the final norm.
