The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You are asking to discuss the two statements.
1.- People are made right with God by faith alone.
This idea is contained in Romans 3:28.
The idea that is conveyed through Romans 3:28 is that one thing is the worship and obedience of God, and another thing is teh obedience of the law. One is divine, It is God's will. The other is from the Earth, the law that exists in every society.
So the focus of humans must be on God's will and do as his will. The law of men is important but it is not in the same category of divine law.
2.- Selling indulgences is an abuse of church power.
This is one of the most important critics Protestants made against the Catholic church.
Indeed it was one of the main claims Martin Luther refer to when he wrote his essay "95 Thesis," in which he accuses the pope of selling indulgences as one of the worst things of the Catholic church. Martin Luther was a German monk that initiated the Protestant movement that generated the schism in the Christian Church.

The Catholic Church has taught that the sacraments were given to the church as a way for God, through the Church, to convey his grace and power to those who took part in the sacraments ... and that this grace and power from God then enables those who receive the sacraments to do works pleasing to God.
The Catechism of the Council of Trent, published in 1566, described the seven sacraments of the Church as "the sacraments of the New Law instituted by Jesus Christ." The catechism also affirmed that these actions "conferred grace through the act performed."
Under current definition by the United States Council of Catholic Bishops, "through the Sacraments, God shares his holiness with us so that we, in turn, can make the world holier."
The seven sacraments of the Catholic Church are:
- Baptism
- Eucharist (the Mass)
- Reconciliation (formerly called Penance)
- Confirmation
- Anointing of the Sick (formerly referred to as Last Rites or Extreme Unction)
- Marriage
- Ordination
Note that an individual can participate in six, not seven, of the sacraments, because those ordained into clergy roles are expected to remain celibate and unmarried.
