I’m grateful the early reformation Fathers recovered the Gospel of Grace.

They didn’t get everything correct.

Recovering the way to eternal life was more than enough!

From the OP: Widespread confusion about this began to occur after the 16th century with the rise of Protestantism ...

    Two distinct perspectives were introduced
  1. The first asserts that genuine Christianity was lost, buried, and dead for about 1400 years or so and then only began to be emerge, albeit imperfectly and continues to be refined generation after generation as a dynamic discovery process settled on an individual's interpretation and experience; imperfect yet sufficient for individual salvation.

  2. The second upholds one holy catholic and apostolic church from the days of the apostles until this day, howbeit troubled by those who rebel and sow widespread confusion.

**They didn’t get everything correct.**

Thank you for confirming Monsignor Pope’s answer.

An evil root can't bring forth good fruit.

Amos 3
7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

Which prophet lead your reformation? What prophet leads you now?

Rev 11 is clear that there are living prophets with same power Moses alive today. Where are yours?
