The whole point of the Christian faith is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- his victory over sin and death. Without his victory over sin, his victory over death would be meaningless, and without his victory over death, his victory over sin would be meaningless. So to compare these two beliefs to something of considerably less importance like the protestant reformation (and the Roman Catholics agree with me here) simply reveals a misunderstanding of what it means to be a Christian.
