The quotation marks is because nobody says "the Catholic denomination".
Also, the Catholic Bible has additional non-canonical "books": the apocrypha, so it is different from a Protestant Bible.

Okay. This simply means you are an Apostate, and lose your rights as a Jew. You cannot testify in a Jewish court of law, cannot marry as a Jew, cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery, etc.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
Tell me something I didn't already know. It's not different though - the books are the same basically, there are just a few more of them, along with additions to Esther and Daniel. Anyway, you might want to read them someday. There's nothing weird or defending of the Catholic faith by the way. In fact, I could be wrong on this, but I believe all of them are OT books. As you know, you and I follow the NT "rules." Anyway, many of them sound like the Song of Solomon or Psalms. Also. many different versions of non Catholic and even protestant bibles include them, even the King James bible originally had them included.
Many Protestant bibles today only include 66 books, and the Catholic bibles today include 73 books, a difference of seven books.

Do you think that the use of the term 'apocryphya' is heresy?

Yes, and the canon for the Eastern Orthodox is larger than the Catholics. And the canon for the Ethiopian church is larger still. So? All it means is Christians cannot agree on a canon.
The Catholic Church of course claims not to be a denomination, but the original church from which denominations broke away. Regardless, it is a Christian group no different from Baptists or non-denominationals or Oriental Orthodox. It really doesn't matter whether you refer to it as a denomination or a church.

No, though personally I use the term "deuterocanonical."

Do you know what does 'anagignoskomena' mean?

No and I am too lazy to look it up. You tell me. Something about knowing something.

It means 'good to read'
So what? I will have eternal life in Christ.

Luther included them in his first Bible, but most Protestants later dropped them.
Frankly, there is really nothing controversial within them with the sole exception of praying for the dead.

I really encourage people to read to deuterocanonical books and decide for themselves. The Anglican Church (Church of England) still reads them I believe. They are included in their bible. Also, the Lutheran, Methodist, and Moravian churches read from them, I believe.
I have read them and other "books" that aren't in most Bibles. If you're interested, have a look at "The New New Testament", edited by Hal Taussig. I keep my mind open to other writings that aren't "official".

So you say. That's called blind faith.
