The fact that the analysis that Protestants did failed to disagree with the Catholics on that point doesn’t mean thet let the Catholics decide the Scripture; had they done so, their decision would not have varied from that of thd Catholics on any point, but it did, because thet decided for themselves.

There was no such thing as Protestant when the canon was formalized, and the reformation had nothing to do with canon.

Canonical issues were debated during the "reformation", including canonicity of certain New Testament works (there are famous Luther quotes that often get brought out).
