“The Law says, ‘do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘believe in this,’ and everything is already done.” - Heidelberg Disputation The Reformation as Renewal: Retrieving the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church, by Matthew Barrett
In my mind, the reason the Reformation was needed was to preserve the true doctrine of Justification. It had been obscured and maybe lost in some areas. The doctrine of Trans-substantiation developed in order to support the idea of infused grace for the purpose of Justification in Roman Catholic doctrine. Under the doctrine of Sola Fide, Trans-substantiation is not needed and in fact contradicts it. I think it was inevitable that Protestant denominations over time would drop the idea that Jesus presence exists within the elements of the Lord's Supper as they fully embraced Sola Fide.
I agree that Justification and Sanctification are separate, but that is a very Protestant perspective. I thin it is correct but that is part of the disagreement, at least as I understand it. Roman Catholicism melds the two together.
