That 95th tweet must really be a bone in the throat to some religionists. It sounds to me like Luther had assurance of salvation.

Of COURSE!!!

He was CATHOLIC!!!

"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."

--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

You do realize that Christ’s church _isn’t_ Pope XYZ the Nth’s church, right? that His own are drawn from wherever they are, which isn’t necessarily inclusive nor exclusive of what one particular set of traditions d’jour dictates?
