I, for one, hope and pray that the old heretic managed to repent before he croaked. I don't wish Hell on anyone. Thus, I also hope and pray that his modern day followers will abandon their errors.
And we pray for your soul and your eventual enlightenment as well, Brother in Christ.

Repent for what? Taking on the catholic church of 1521 or critiquing their errors is a sin now? Laughable,,, What he did was very similar to Christ clearing the temple. VERY similar.
While I hope and pray that my love ones 'believed' I do not see how I can intervene in their outcome now that they have returned to the Maker. I do not find any instruction wherein it is required of me to pray for the 'salvation' of those that have returned home. IF this was the case old Luther would not still be the subject of hate and contempt by so many who preach a 'social justice' gospel.
Our founders were filled with wisdom few denominations have, The Creator bestows unalienable rights of 'life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that no man/government can give or take... Not sure why anyone would ever consider they can usurp this authority and why whatever happens between anyone individual and the Heavenly Father can be nullified.
Personally speaking I see NO proof old Luther was a heretic. Of course I am not a student in Luther but I sure cannot get all wrapped up about who flesh people condemn as heretic. Christ said not to judge lest we be judged. I also personally consider old Teddy and Nancy the Red to be far more ministers of the darkside than anything old Luther ever did or said. So far as I can find only the devil by name and a few of his fellow travelers have been judged to eternal death. And NO I have no way of knowing who else will choose to join them when that day of judgment comes.
Nothing at least on that day for Luther to repent from. Stuff later on I would bet he did, since he realized every day was a struggle against “the old man” and every day one needed to ask for forgiveness.
