How did the Reformation work out? Very well, by giving Christians liberty to worship Christ according to their consciences, and not all be forced to belong to a single top-down institution run by an unaccountable and self-protecting bureaucracy.
Where is the Reformation today? Most of the offshoots haven’t a trace of Christianity left in them; they take no issue with divorce (despite Christ’s own words on the issue), they embrace homosexuality, and they are dwindling.
