What were Martin Luther's religious beliefs?

A:Prior to his split with the Roman Catholic Church, Martin Luther was a Catholic priest, Augustine monk and professor of theology. Thus, his religious beliefs were based on the teachings of the Catholic Church, on which he was a considerable expert. Like any other Catholic of his era, he chose to accept those teachings without question.However, this all changed when Albrecht of Brandenburg purchased the archdiocese of Mainz on the basis of a substantial loan that he intended to repay by the sale of indulgences. At this point, Luther merely wanted to reform the sale of indulgences, not abolish them, but pushed into a corner by the Church, he began to re-evaluate all that he formerly believed. He came to the conclusion that indulgences serve no purpose in the afterlife and should therefore be abolished, that salvation was by faith alone, and that the doctrine of papal infallibility is not true. He believed that the ordinary people should be able to read The Bible for themselves, so translated it into the vernacular.
