The RCC apparently thought that Luther’s beliefs diverged enough for them to expel him for eternity from the cult of Rome. As a non-Protestant Baptist who never belonged to the Romish organization, and as a member of a church that never protested it, I stand amused at those who wish to “prove” that Luther was “catholic” in his beliefs..... which he WAS, except for his soteriology.

"that never protested it,"

well, the baptist movement, which started in 1609 founded by John Smyth was a fourth generation reformation group -- which split from the Anabaptists (John Smyth was influenced by these when he founded the BAptist movement in Amsterdam)

Note of course that though this was a fourth generation it had nothing in common with the Polish Brethern or the Unitarians or others, just as the 6th/7th generation of reforming from reforming groups (Pentecostals, Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witneses, Christian Scientists and yes Mormons) have next to nothing in common with each other.

And the article doesn't read to 'prove' what you state, rather it seems to aim to say that those celebrating R day should also know more about what Luther actually believed in, no more

His soteriology. well, it's not Catholic/Orthodox, but then it is distinct from Arminian and from Calvinism as well.
