I think you will find it is just the opposite. The RCC wants nothing to do with people interpreting the Bible for themselves.Actually, that's exactly one of the primary things Protestantism protests.... One of the PRIMARY issues of Luther and Calvin was the RCC insisting that Truth is a matter of the individual's understanding (self looking to self).
Many Reformed and Presbyterians are strongly Bible believing. One would observe also that among many Reformed and Presbyterians, sometimes the deference is also to systematic theology rather than to appeals to Scripture itself.The Reformed Church.

There are various varieties of Presbyterian; some do stick a lot more closely to the Bible than others.The Presbyterian Church is apostate.
Trying to sneak in your theology here I see. Especially Calvinism.
What is the Reformed Church, and what do they believe?
Reformed theology is a body of doctrine that is taught by many different churches, including Presbyterian and some Baptist churches. This body of doctrine reflects the teachings of the Protestant reformers Ulrich Zwingli and John Calvin and is also referred to as Calvinism. The Synod of Dort (1618) was called to answer the teachings of Arminianism and summarized Calvinist doctrine in five points: 1) Total Depravity of Man, 2) Unconditional Election, 3) Limited Atonement, 4) Irresistible Grace, 5) Perseverance of the Saints. These five points are often referred to by the acronym “TULIP.”

There are huge numbers of local churches in Northern Ireland; good to check them out.You mean where they have a history Catholics and Protestants hating and killing each other?
I lived in Scotland for a year in the 70s. Great Britain's was apostate even then.

With your belief in Free Will, you are much closer to Catholicism. Do you know Luther's main work disproved Free Will? He called the book "The Bondage of the Will".Very liturgical and Calvinistic. Very close to Catholicism.
Luther and the Calvinists went overboard by denying the existence of free will as well as the existence of the conscience, and postulating that the unsaved are unremittingly evil. They were simply following the Catholic St Augustine.Do you know Luther's main work disproved Free Will? He called the book "The Bondage of the Will".
