He was Catholic, although his actions may define him as the first Protestant.
Martin Luther was a Catholic, an Augustinian monk in fact, until his theological division with the teachings of the Catholic Church led him to break with it and found his own. There is somewhat of a controversy as to whether he considered he truly broke from the Church or if he considered himself to be Catholic though in opposition to the pope or whether he saw himself as founding a new church, which is now known as the Lutheran church.
