It's the same thing. Either you accept the Apocrypha as Scripture, or you have to admit that not everything canon is Scripture.

The apocrypha was never universally accepted, the Eastern church rejecting it as well as the Jews. The Western church was none to sure about it for some time. I reject the apocrypha because the Hebrews reject it....Pauls writings were accepted as scripture before even the gospels. Your "rejection" of them is two thousand years too late--a much longer time than Luther's second thoughts and with no support in the church.
