Ironic, since the Protestant Reformation (led by Martin Luther) references those groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church, which until then was considered the universal church. In fact, some "old-line" Catholics believe Protestants have basically "lost their way" and that the only way to salvation is for them to basically return to the "one true Faith". The Church as an institution, however, has modified their stance on that over the years.
