21 Luther Cont. 3 main ideas People could win salvation only by faith in God's gift of forgiveness. The Church taught that faith and "good works" were needed for salvation All church teachings should be clearly based on the words of the Bible. Both the pope and Church traditions were false authorities. All people with faith were equal. Therefore, people did not need priests to interpret the bible for them.

31 Reforming Popes Council of Trent
The Church's interpretation of the Bible was final. Anyone who said different was a heretic Christians needed faith & good works for salvation. They were not saved by faith alone. The Bible and Church tradition were equally powerful authorities for guiding Christian life Indulgences were valid expressions of faith. But the selling of indulgences was banned
