I don't really have a clear idea of the early development of the canon, just that the Greek writings were collected by hundreds or thousands of church leaders for use in their own congregations, and eventually collections got compiled and listed at councils, but that there wasn't a completed collection accepted by all for a very long time if ever, and I wouldn't even guess when that was. The collections would all have been of the Greek writings; the Hebrew text wasn't available until just before the Reformation IIRC; if earlier I don't know when; all they had was the Septuagint before that, and it was a completed collection in itself I think.
All I wanted to say about the Roman Church was that it is a mistake to think it is synonymous with the early Church, though that's what the RCC themselves claim. I understand there were some early Roman Catholic-like practices that later became incorporated into it, but they weren't practiced by all the churches. Beyond saying that much it would probably be best if I didn't say any more and you go back to whatever you were engaged in before I jumped in.
I hope saying this much isn't going to cause more confusion.
