We can confirm the early church's canon of choice from the writers of the NT.
For example, we can clearly know that the Protestant/Calvinist canon is incomplete because the writers of the NT referenced information that is only available in one specific edition of the OT. There are many examples but here is just one.
Joh 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
Joh 10:23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
The feast of Dedication is not found at all in the Protestant Canon. Not once.
The book of Maccabees is referenced by Jesus here. Most Protestants don't even know this. If the Maccabees hadn't reclaimed and rededicated the Temple, Jesus wouldn't have even been standing in the Temple declaring His own Divinity.
Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
Joh 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
