To me it's odd when I hear Protestant Christians say they love nothing more than talking with each other about the Bible.
I understand what they mean, and maybe some really love sharing their biblical studies, which is good.
Not to be nit-picky, but I'd say our focus in Christian fellowship ought to be on Jesus, on prayer, on the Church, on the sacraments, on our Christian journeys, etc.
In other words, not just a Book *about* spiritual things, but in the spiritual realities themselves.
If I'm at a restaurant, I might talk about and refer to the wonderful menu, but what I really want is to share and enjoy dinner itself.
Just trying to keep it real.

When all they have of Christ is the Bible they are one and the same.
To be fair I feel I've b been blessed by our #nostrBibleStudy on Tuesday nights and that included Catholics Protestants and eastern orthodox from time to time
That's good. I've never experienced too many good Bible studies with Protestants and nondenominationals, because many traditional Catholic interpretations tend to be rejected by nondenominationals. I hope that hasn't been your experience.
Well...I used to be one. ;-) (sorry if you have seen this reply before, I thought I sent it before but its not showing on my client today).
