Luther expressed regret before his death, when he saw the havoc that his new doctrines were generating even then. Before he died there were already more than a dozen denominations that had split off from his own group, each of them claiming to recognize truths in the Bible that Luther had not seen, or had interpreted incorrectly. This was the totally predictable result of sola scriptura combined with personal interpretation. That destructive process has continued to the present day. Today there are over 15,000 Protestant denominations and independent churches in the United States alone (probably twice that worldwide), each claiming to be based solidly on the Bible, yet each conflicting with the others on virtually every point of doctrinal teaching. Truth cannot conflict with truth, so obviously many if not most of these manmade doctrines are false. This is why Jesus warned against denominationalism. This is why Jesus emphasized that His followers must remain ONE, even as He and His heavenly Father are ONE. This is why He placed authority in the hands of Blessed Peter and His successors. He knew that truth cannot exist without unity and that unity cannot exist without authority. The Bible tells us that the Church is the Pillar and Foundation of truth. Any structure, separated from its pillars and foundation, will weaken, warp, and eventually collapse. Seeking the fullness of truth outside the Church Christ founded for all mankind is a losing battle.

Martin Luther started the faith apart from charity doctrine to split from the Catholic Church. Swedenborg tells of Luther's fate after death. It is in the True Christian Religion by Emanuel Swedenborg.

Martin Luther never intended to "split" from the Roman cult...he just wanted to clean out the corruption... he never changed his position... he also was a jew hater and a bitter man at the time of his death... I do not personaly believe he was of The True Christian Faith... as are none who only know the dogma of the RC cult.

Death of Martin Luther:

Accompanied by his three sons, Luther left Wittenberg on January 23. The negotiations were successfully concluded on February 17. After 8:00 p.m. that day, Luther experienced chest pains. When he went to his bed, he prayed, "Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God" (Ps. 31:5), the common prayer of the dying. At 1:00 a.m. he awoke with more chest pain and was warmed with hot towels. Knowing his death was imminent, he thanked God for revealing His Son to him in Whom he had believed. His companions, Justus Jonas and Michael Coelius, shouted loudly, "Reverend father, are you ready to die trusting in your Lord Jesus Christ and to confess the doctrine which you have taught in His name?" A distinct "Yes" was Luther's reply. He died 2:45 a.m., February 18, 1546, in Eisleben, the city of his birth. Luther was buried in the Castle Church in Wittenberg, underneath the pulpit.[117]

both are ok. the former said the corruption of the Catholic Church on the time (which, regrettably, brought about large separation and divisiveness). So, i'd say that King has him through a nod.
