With sincere respect..you state “some of them even believed things that were declared heretical afterwards.” True . What were those things ?

For one example, Origen believed in the pre-existence of the soul. Another loose example would be Tertullian's abandonment of orthodox Christianity in favor of Montanism, which was a movement rejected by the church in the 2nd century. Point being, there were men early on who have been instrumental in various ways that have believed things that were condemned and rejected by the broader church.

Private interpretation of scripture? Answer yes. It’s the private interpretation of scripture that is the source of the heresies.
You actually defeat your own belief systems with your own words.

Private interpretation of Scripture was praised in the account of the Bereans in Acts 17, but we know that private interpretation must be led by the Spirit of God through the use of Scipture as the interpretative grid or framework. We can't interpret Scripture to mean anything we want, because God had actual meanings to convey to us in His word. God gave teachers (elders/pastors) to help the people with that task of interpretation.

Then you finish with vague traditions.

By "vague traditions", I mean that Rome teaches there is a nebulous number of traditions that were passed down orally and yet we don't know when and where and by whom specifically all traditions were given and when they were documented to be as such. Instead, a dogma can be declared 1500-2000 years after Christ where it isn't obvious or clear at all that such tradition was even known or heard of by the early church, but it is assumed by the later decree. The Scriptures are final. We can read the Bible today and have confidence that it is substantively the same Bible from 500 years ago, from 1000 years ago, and nearly 2000 years ago. We have to trust Rome in the traditions that she claims must be believed as being passed down from the Apostles.

The priesthood is not a vague tradition. Every single Christian faith had the priesthood for the first 1500 years.

Except that the Apostles were forming churches in various areas and electing elders for the governance and teaching, not priests. Deviating from Scripture early on does not justify the deviation.

---

The real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is not a vague tradition. Every single church believed it.

---

That's quite the bold statement and not true. That's more anachronism coming into play. Whenever someone says "this is Christ's body" and "this is Christ's blood", you assume they meant His literal, physical body and blood in the same way that Rome teaches today. My Protestant church does not believe the Scriptures teach the real presence, and yet every time we have Communion, the pastor says "this is my body" and "this is my blood" (quoting Jesus, obviously), because just as the bread and the wine are really there physically, ministering to our physical senses, so we know that Christ's sacrifice was real and physical, and the spiritual benefits of grace that the Lord gives in the sacrament are real and effectual.

Your belief system is the novelty not the Catholic faith.

My belief system is based on Scripture, which is the very word of God. I would rather believe what is true and "novel" than what is generally accepted and false.
