I would note that even the council of trent did not accept the entire apocrypha. So one should begin to wonder right there how to determine the authoritative nature of these books or how one determines authority among them. It should also be noted that it was not Luther who coined the phrase deuterocanonical, so again, stop trying to blame us.
"In 1546 the Council of Trent finally resolved the issue by accepting the Apocrypha as canonical albeit with the exclusion of six books. In 1566, Roman Catholic theologian Sixtus of Siena introduced the term deuterocanonical, i.e., of secondary canonicity, to describe the Apocrypha; this term has been widely accepted in church and acedemic literature."
