The Westminster Confession of Faith, completed in 1646 by the Westminster Assembly, is a significant doctrinal statement for Reformed Christianity, particularly within Presbyterian traditions. It outlines a comprehensive system of beliefs, reflecting Protestant Reformation principles, particularly those of John Calvin.

The Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England, established in 1563 and revised in 1571, outline the core doctrines of Anglicanism amid the Reformation. They assert belief in the Holy Trinity and the authority of Scripture as the primary source for faith and practice.

They emphasize that salvation is through faith alone, with good works being a fruit of that faith rather than a means to earn salvation.
