Martin Luther's understanding of salvation was very muddled, he did not believe that man could actually change. In Martin Luther's theology, man was smuggled into heaven (in his words) "like a pile of manure covered with snow". Martin Luther believed that Christ, through His suffering and death covered us with His precious blood and "hid" our sins. This is radically different from the Catholic understanding of salvation. In the Catholic view, baptism really and truly changes you. Even though your concupiscence remains from your previous fallen nature (your tendency to sin), nevertheless, you are really and truly washed clean in baptism, and with God's grace CAN lead a moral and upright life. You really are made a child of God in baptism and are called to live that way. You can, by not cooperating with the graces given you, fall back into your sinful ways, but you are called, through repentance and confession, to pick yourself back up - WITH GOD's Grace - and continue to carry your cross on this earth and follow Christ.
