Martin Luther was born in 1483 and he died in 1546. Luther was a German priest and he believed that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus as redeemer from sin.
His main quarrel with theology was that it did not say that Martin Luther was pope, and that only the Church could interpret the Scriptures which she had written and guaranteed instead of himself. Further, the theology of his day called him to be holy, and to follow Christ's commands, which, though based on the Ten Commandments, were far stricter. Martin Luther wanted to sin boldly and still be saved, he did not want to follow the Scriptural admonition that faith without works was dead.

if he was a baptized member of the church and he rejected an article of faith, then yes. if he rejected any article of faith without being a baptized member of the church then he is free of heresy.
Martin Luther taught that people are "justified" by faith and not works. The Roman Catholic Church taught salvations was not just through Jesus, but also through the Church. This ran counter to the teaching of Martin Luther who taught that faith was all that was needed.
Salvation by faith alone.

Humans ared saved by their faith in God's grace, not by the good works they do.
The core theological difference is Luther believed in salvation by faith alone and the Catholic Church believed in salvation by faith plus works.
Well, both Martin Luther and the Catholics believed that salvation came from the grace of God. Martin luther believed that one was saved though faith alone. The Catholics believe that one is saved through both faith and good works.
As I know he was changed after he understood the grace of God in Jesus through faith, in Ephesians 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, 9 not as a result of works, that no one should boast. "Sola gratia et sola fide=for by grace you have been saved through faith
Martin Luther believed you could be saved by having a " I have a dream speech" saying NOMATTER what color skin you are we are all the same.
Yes, please note that Martin Luther was a Friar, not a monk.
