Ah that's my bad. My point still stands though. It's not like he was able to convince everyone to become Protestant.
The people who chose to remain catholic had no opinion on protestantism before it was invented, then they formed a negative opinion of it. Opinion changed, cheque mate aetheistises.
But everyone’s opinion was changed.
Opinion of what exactly?
That was not a criterion of OP’s question. As such, it doesn’t really matter. Just that they were changed is the qualifier here.
If I were to guess, it at least changed their opinion of Martin Luther, even if they didn’t become protestants.
