Just because we honor the successor of St. Peter, the first Pope, does not mean that we don’t have faith in God.

(Remember that Luther added the word ‘alone’ to the Bible.)

To: Salvation
Just because we honor worship the successor of St. Peter, the first Pope, does not mean that we don’t have faith in God. (Remember that Luther added the word ‘alone’ to the Bible.)

Can you show me the verses in the Bible where Luther "added" the word alone? Romans 3:28 is posted below with as many translations as I could find.

Luther's point is correct though. We are saved by faith and by faith alone. There is no work or deed we can do to earn our salvation. See Ephesians 2:8-9 and Hebrews 11 and the whole New Testament.
