Answer:

Protestantism

Step-by-step explanation:

Martin Luther created Protestantism (Lutheranism, to be specific), in order to criticize the church based on salvation. He was especially unhappy about "get out of purgatory free" as well as the religious order of what he called a corrupt, Catholic Church, and demanded reform, hence the name the Protestant Reformation.

Of course there was a Catholic Counter Reformation
