Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Luther and other disagreed with the Roman Catholic Church's sale of indulgences to finance the construction of St. Peter's Basilica. ... Luther believed indulgences to be unbiblical because, he claimed, salvation came by grace through faith (Hebrews 10:38), not by a papal proclamation or indulgence.
