Sorry, but history says otherwise. Read the 95 Theses. Do a google, there are many sources which historically document the RCC sold indulgences.

But worse than indulgences was the following official statement of the RCC (Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon 12)

"If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than trust in God's mercy, which remits sin for Christ's sake, or that it is this trust alone which justifies us, let him be damned."

No, it does not. I have a PhD in history and studied this for years.

“Read the 95 Theses.”

I have. Many times. It offers no evidence for the claim that was made.

“Do a google, there are many sources which historically document the RCC sold indulgences.”

Wrong. There are no original sources at all that show that. In other words, there plenty of morons today who make the claim that the Catholic Church sold indulgences but no one, ever, anywhere, at any time, EVER, has been able to show one scrap of evidence that the Catholic sold indulgences. All anyone has been able to show is that Catholics violated canon law and illegally sold indulgences. What I am saying is irrefutably true. I have researched it endlessly and every single person I have ever challenged to present evidence of the Catholic Church selling indulgences has failed each and every single time to present any such evidence at all. You will fail too. You might even know you’ll fail. Maybe that’s why you’re not offering any evidence yourself.

“But worse than indulgences was the following official statement of the RCC (Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon 12) “If anyone says that justifying faith is nothing else than trust in God’s mercy, which remits sin for Christ’s sake, or that it is this trust alone which justifies us, let him be damned.””

Nothing wrong with telling the truth. Without repentance there is no salvation. Trusting in Jesus without repenting of your sins will not save you. If you don’t turn your heart to God there can be no genuine trust in Him. Did you ever even think of that?

I don’t think you know as much as you apparently think you do.
