Incorrect. The Geneva Confession do not list the teachings of the “Reformation”. It lists the teachings of Calvinists in 1537. Lutherans would not agree that all of its teachings speak for them. Neither would Anabaptists.

“Henry erred at many points.”

Agreed. So did all the “Reformers.”

“He was not a reformer.”

Yes, he was. He just wasn’t one to your liking or mine.

Pss the reformation was Calvinist in doctrine.

Luther like Augustine held most of the Calvinist doctrines including predestination, election etc

Do not be confused by the form of worship .
