Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Luther believed people were saved by faith alone and that this was the summary of all Christian doctrine, and that the Catholic Church of his day had got this wrong. It’s often stated Catholics, by contrast to Protestants, believe a mixture of faith and works is necessary for salvation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luther’s central claim is that faith alone justifies (that is, makes a person righteous in the eyes of God) the one who believes in Christ as a result of hearing the gospel. This faith affects the imputation of Christ’s righteousness that covers the sins of the believer.
