How did the Catholic Church's beliefs differ from the protestant church on salvation?

Because the Catholic Church's beliefs are founded on the revelation of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to the Apostles. The protestant beliefs are founded on the private wishes of individuals who lived sixteen centuries later on what they wish was true and their individual reading of flawed translations of the Sacred Scriptures.
Catholics teach that the Christian must rely on faith plus "meritorious works" in order to be saved. Essential to the Roman Catholic doctrine of salvation are the Seven Sacraments, which are baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, anointing of the sick, holy orders, and matrimony. Protestants believe that, on the basis of faith in Christ alone, believers are justified by God, as all their sins are paid for by Christ on the cross and His righteousness is imputed to them. Catholics, on the other hand, believe that Christ's righteousness is imparted to the believer by "grace through faith," but in itself is not sufficient to justify the believer. The believer must supplement the righteousness of Christ imparted to him with meritorious works.
