Did the disagreement between the Catholic Church and Protestant Church on the issue of salvation by grace alone end in 1999?

This is question is for an effort to understand the current movement of bringing unity among Christian denominations.
A question was asked before: [Is Pope Francis holding and professing different views from the traditional Catholic Church in the doctrine of salvation & teachings about marriage?](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/71725/is-pope-francis-holding-and-professing-different-views-from-the-traditional-cath)
So I am asking this question with that one as the background.
There is a video [BISHOP TONY PALMER DIES - Watch full original Pope Francis video here !](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK_ChnMVqR8) in which [Bishop Tony Palmer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Palmer_(bishop)) & [Kenneth Copeland](https://www.kcm.org/) are present and **Bishop Tony says around the 26th minute that in 1999 a document was signed between Catholic Church & Protestant Church regarding the Doctrine of salvation that salvation is by Faith Alone equipping us for good works.** And that it ended the protest between Catholics & Protestants.
Is that true?
If it is true which is that document?
Is that document in the Catholic Church website as Bishop Tony claims?
Bishop Tony further shows a video that he claims to have been taken by the request of the Pope. In that, the Pope requests Kenneth Copeland for unity among Christian Denominations and also his prayers.
Does the official Catholic teaching now agree with the Protestant church in the doctrine of salvation?
Is the division between Catholics & Protestants now just propaganda of some evangelical leaders as Bishop Tony claims?
What is the Catholic Church's official response regarding this call for unity with Protestants from the Pope? Where all have the Catholic churches and the Protestant churches agreed on doctrine after Luther brought the reformation?
Are there no irreconcilable differences between the Catholic Church and the Protestant Church on fundamental doctrines?
