What was not a conclusion of the Council of Trent Praying to saints and the virgin Mary should be discouraged or salvation comes from a combination of faith and good works?
Praying to saints and the Blessed Virgin was most definitely NOT discouraged at the Council of Trent.

True or false Martin Luther belived that humans gain salvation through 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.
