Michaelangelo was a confessing Christian and strong defender of Justification by faith (evidenced by his poetry and others’):
Extend to me, my Lord, that chain
to which every heavenly gift is tied,
namely faith, to which I keenly hold,
but, through my fault, I don’t fully possess.[2]
As Your breath left you, You prayed for us: “O Father,
let those who believe join me in my kingdom.”
And now my soul at rest knows no more fear.
Now by Your mercy I believe, and know
Your burning Passion which razed all my guilt
forever, as it consumed You on the cross.[3]
You cannot just say anything and pull names out of thin air and apply them to your argument and expect your stance to go unchallenged.
