None of those miracles are dogmatic, so how much weight do they carry? I don't even recall hearing one referred to in Catholic Mass.
I too suspect the Catholic Church would disregard an Anglican miracle, try to discredit it, or interpret it in way that serves the Catholic Church. I don't mean to paint all Catholic laypeople or clergy with that brush; I'm talking about the establishment.
A protestant called into Catholic Answers and asked if the Catholic Church held that Protestants aren't saved. The Catholic apologists emphatically said the Church didn't believe that. They said they saw Protestants as their Christian brothers and sisters, but that they weren't receiving the fullness of the faith that's found in the Catholic Church (or words to that effect). That last part is something that many people believe about their denomination, so I'd just disregard it if somebody said that to me without persuasive support for that claim. But the point is that the Catholic apologists' reply to the Protestant's question makes it clear that they don't believe submission to the Pope is necessary for salvation.
