Help me compare Martin Luther and St. Ignatius of Loyola?

Question

How did they instruct people to figure out how to lead a pious life and according to each, what is the proper guide for one's behavior as an individual?

Answer 1

Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 – February 18, 1546) was a German monk, priest, professor, theologian, and church reformer. His teachings inspired the Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines and culture of the Lutheran and Protestant traditions, as well as the course of Western civilization. Luther's formulation of the doctrine of sola fide, "salvation by faith alone," became the principal cause and distinctive feature of the Reformation movement.

Saint Ignatius of Loyola, also known as Ignacio López de Loyola (December 24, 1491 – July 31, 1556), was the principal founder and first Superior General of the Society of Jesus, a religious order of the Catholic Church professing direct service to the Pope in terms of mission. Members of the order are called Jesuits. He is famous as the compiler of the Spiritual Exercises, and he is remembered as a gifted spiritual director. He was very active in fighting the Protestant Reformation and promoting the subsequent Counter-Reformation. He was beatified and then canonized to receive the title of Saint on March 12, 1622. His feast day is July 31, celebrated annually. He is the patron saint of Guipúzcoa as well as of the Society of Jesus.
