I’ve yet to see anyone say that Lutherism is free from the ‘ecumenical councils’.

From the 'papist' authority of said councils, I'll say it. From the Scriptural results of the councils, no. Unfortunately, most of the later councils were full of papist authority-setting decrees. Non-Catholic Christians are not bound by them.

You can’t have it both ways.

If the Councils have any force at all, you must recognise that they were legitimate for all Christians.

Non-Catholic christians are bound by them. I’m talking about Chalcedon, Ephesus, Nicaea, and Constantinople.
