When something inaccurately describes my religion, I'm not going to take it seriously. If somebody said Roe v. Wade didn't allow abortion, I wouldn't take that seriously.

Why does that site have no pages on Martin Luther or Lutherans? That seems like a fairly serious omission for a scholarly site on religion.
You don't have to agree with what is said to see the value in the research. If I saw a site that said Roe v. Wade didn't allow abortion, I'd be very interested in their research and would follow it to understand their position. Some of their research might be useful and true even if they have inappropriately understood it. This is why Christian churches can take the same information and get different answers (and sects).

I'm not asking you to agree with the apologeticsindex opinion regarding Catholicism. I'm asking you to follow their research on Word-Faith and come to your own conclusion.
