Luther said we are saved by faith alone. The Catholic Church teaches we are saved by faith and good works.
False. Martin Luther believed that humans gain salvation through grace alone. He believed there was nothing anyone could do to make them worthy of salvation, but that it was only through God's grace and mercy that anyone could be saved. This did not mean, however, that faith and good works were to be ignored, but rather that they could not buy salvation.
Martin Luther believed the Roman Catholic Church distorts the role of good works in Christian life because he believes the doctrine of salvation by faith. That the work of Christ on the Cross is the salvation. Then one will want to do good works. Catholics believed the good works bring salvation.
He meant that the Christian is Not saved by the works they do, (although it does not hurt to do good works for your fellow human beings). He meant that the Christian is saved because they accept Jesus as the Christ and Savior, and that He died on the cross to save the human race from being held accountable for their sins. There are no works a human being can do to save themselves. They must accept Jesus as their savior and live a Christian live in order to be saved.
the issues were-how will a person be saved?Luther said "good works" were not needed, but just faith itself-where does religious authority reside?Luther said the bible and individual conscience-what is the church?Luther said the church is the entire community of Christian believers-what is the highest form of the Christian church?Luther said all vocation, whether secular or ecclesiastical

The core theological difference is Luther believed in salvation by faith alone and the Catholic Church believed in salvation by faith plus works.
He said that you needed to have faith in the risen Lord to be saved. He also said that good deeds were not enough to get there..Catholic AnswerThe above answer is correct as far as it goes, but then the Council of Trent said exactly the same things, even declaring that anyone who says that they can achieve salvation through good works is to be declared anathema. Martin Luther said that you should go out and "sin mightily" to prove that God could save you regardless of what you did. Martin Luther said what was necessary, but his problem came in what he declared was unnecessary.
Martin Luther's intense study of the Bible revealed to him that salvation could only be granted on the basis of faith alone rather than by works, the latter being the way the Roman Catholic church of the time believed.
