One of the options should be "No, because terms such as 'infallible' and/or 'inerrant' should be reserved for the Bible alone." One honors the Scriptures when he automatically assumes that all confessions of faith and catechisms are, in principle, fallible and errant. The Westminster divines certainly took this view (Confession 1.10).
