Protestantism came from an attempt to reform the Catholic church; it was not meant to be a separate thing until the reformers were excommunicated. You shouldn’t think about Catholicism as necessarily separate from reformed traditions i. e. protestantism. It is clear from what Jesus said that church unity is good, so, if Christians were more united on doctrine, the world would be better IMO.
I understood that “faith alone” was one of the founding principles of the Protestant church, and never a part of Catholicism.
Why would he?
And how would that be a “reform?”

Why would he? Because it’s what the Bible teaches. It’s an essential of the faith.
I don’t expect him to but you never know what God will do.
