In our circles, this is reffered to as [the self-attestation of scripture](https://modernreformation.org/resource-library/articles/the-self-attestation-of-scripture/) (q.v.).
We received the OT from the church under age. The "aprocrypha" were never considered the Word of God, even if helpful or historical (or not). See Kline, [The Structure of Biblical Authority](https://amzn.to/3rz8MMj). Either way, authority of an inspired text is not bestowed (per Rome) but recognized and acknowledged (as per the Reformers). God's word speaks for itself.
