No, Luther and many who came before and many who came after broke the monopoly of a corrupted magisterium. It is a gross oversimplification to analyze the Reformation in terms of one man. Was he Superman, able to cow entire nations with superpowers? Or were there enough people who had been subjugated to the tyranny of Rome long enough, and were ready to breath free air once again? The Reformation had been underway for a long time. Luther just help topple an already brittle structure. If it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else.

The same can be said about any antisemite who hated the Jews and played an active role in their destruction. It prima facie proves he was not inspired by the LORD God of Israel.

Such a one is the foundation of faith groups named after him, and perhaps the bulk of the reformation also views him as foundational in what became a new series of religious communities, formed by the Gentiles who rebelled against the established, historical, and visible Catholic Church.

Another proof of the lack of divine inspiration for the reformation is the disunity amongst themselves they showed from the beginning, which has continued to this day.

It is true those principal reformation faith groups retained some of the truth they had inherited, on a sliding scale, and it was sufficient for those who actually obeyed the commandments of the Messiah.

Just can NOT get away from them works!

Going to have a tough time explaining the papacy then using that criteria. Including many of your 'saints'. How many of your AS Popes spoke infallibly at some time in their tenure. Good luck fitting that into your model.
