Detailed explanation-1: -Luther objected to a saying attributed to Johann Tetzel that “As soon as the coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs.” He insisted that, since forgiveness was God’s alone to grant, those who claimed that indulgences absolved buyers from all punishments and granted them salvation were in error.

It’s often stated Catholics, by contrast to Protestants, believe a mixture of faith and works is necessary for salvation.
