a Black Pope coming up

You need to research the word of faith movement, because it's definitely a renewal of the doctrine of indulgences.

"The indulgences of old promised that God would pardon people's sins in exchange for a gift to the church. The indulgences sold today promise a return by God of up to one hundred fold with every gift. The doctrine of seed faith is giving to a need and expecting from God a return on that gift. Many even teach that you should name your seed before you plant it. They encourage you to put an amount of money into their offering and claim something in return, like your uncle's salvation or a miracle debt reduction. If you need a healing, plant a seed. If you need more money, plant a seed. How strangely similar to the selling of indulgences"

You just explained why the two were different. Word of faith is about gaining prosperity and material goods in this life by giving to God, indulgences are about the next life.

Do you mean they believed they are prerequisites for salvation?

Both Anglicanism and Lutheranism hold to the efficacy of baptism for salvation, and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

It's pretty noticeable that many heretical teachings have entered the protestant churches, leaving the protestant world in a mess. When you look closely at some of the teachings you can see they do have some roots in Catholicism. I personally see this as an attempt to bring protestants to Rome. The infiltration of these teachings into the churches and the accepting of them will convince protestants of the similarities they share with Rome.

There's a big difference between taking the bread and wine in remembrance of Him and the sacrificial mass. Taking in remembrance accepts the work of Christ on the cross and remembers what He did for us, whereas the other denies His work, instead believing in a sacrificial mass that must be repeated over and over, that Jesus is literally in the bread each time. If protestants held to this Catholic teaching all along, of a repeated sacrificial mass, then they have always been Catholic. Anyone saved by the grace of God through faith, knows that He was the ONE perfect sacrifice and no others are required.

Just to reiterate the Mass is a re-presentation of the same Sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, and not a new sacrifice each time.

They have a very long history. Research them.

I'm quite familiar with the Society of Jesus, and I know what they are.

The breaking of the Bread and the drinking of the Blood of Yeshua, Jesus, is in obedience to His saying that whenever we come together to do this, to do this in memory of Him. The Bread from Heaven is our nourishment for man shall live by every word that comes from God, and the Blood of the Lamb is our Salvation and Life. They are unleavened bread and wine. Yeshua was never suggesting we become cannibals.
