The document summarizes some of the key differences between Protestant and Catholic theology and practices during the Reformation period. The Protestant view emphasized salvation through faith alone, access to God for all believers without priests, and interpreting scripture independently. The Catholic view maintained that good works and the priesthood were necessary along with faith for salvation. Catholics saw scripture and tradition as revealing doctrine, while Protestants viewed the Bible as the sole source. Other differences included the number of sacraments, whether communion represented a repeated sacrifice, and the concept of predestination.
