“Why do Catholics always accuse others of following Luther?”

That’s a good question. It never occurred to me. I guess RCs don’t get that some groups existed pre-Luther, and pre the invention of Catholicism as a revenue-generating entity.

The church we’ve attended for several months is PCA Presbyterian, and I’ve noticed they have some extra focus on Luther. I would call them true “Protestants”.

There’s none of that in the Baptist Church where I was raised. We learn about Luther and the Reformation, but as just history; we don’t elevate Luther. Since we didn’t “protest” with Luther, not Protestants.

While there is indeed great variety among Protestants (which in itself shows the inadequacy of sola Scriptura), they all share the same core beliefs of sola fide and sola Scriptura which he formulated. Protestants reject Catholic adherence to Tradition but they do not realize that they themselves are just as beholden to the tradition that was established by the Reformers.

I’ve heard hundreds times more about Luther from FRoman Catholics here than I ever heard in church. And most of what I knew from before is what I learned in public high school history class.
