The statement "The final authority on religious questions is the Bible and the Institutes of Faith" aligns most closely with Calvinist beliefs. Calvinism, which is rooted in the teachings of John Calvin, emphasizes the authority of Scripture and often refers to the "Institutes of the Christian Religion," a foundational work by Calvin that outlines his theological views.
In contrast, Catholicism places authority in both Scripture and Tradition, as well as the teachings of the Church, while Lutheranism emphasizes Scripture alone (sola scriptura) but does not typically refer to the "Institutes of Faith" in the same way Calvinism does.
