You should be careful of using Protestant sources with an obvious anti-catholic bias (something I realize you're aware of).

There is at least one New Testament reference to holy water, which would be very inconvenient for your Protestant website:

Quote:

JOH 5:1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

JOH 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

JOH 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

JOH 5:4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

JOH 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

JOH 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

JOH 5:7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

JOH 5:8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

JOH 5:9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
