The Council of Trent banned the office of indulgence seller. Therefore it previously condoned the practice.

Good day to you all. I will go read my heretical BCP and probably go to hell for loving Christ.

False.

You could never “buy” indulgences. The financial scandal surrounding indulgences that led to Martin Luther protesting was in relation to indulgences where alms to some charitable fund or foundation was used as the reason to grant the indulgence. There was no outright selling of indulgences.

As my priest would say "if you're going to be Anglican, then be the best Anglican you can be". The church doesn't teach that you have to be Roman Catholic to go to Heaven.
