The Apology to the Augsburg Confession clearly references 2 Maccabees as "Scripture." Your quote from Wikipedia is based upon a comment from Norman Geisler that is incorrect.
Sep 22, 2021 at 17:05 comment added Ken Graham With the scope of the question limited to Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, your post deals extensively with Lutheranism.
Sep 22, 2021 at 16:44 comment added Ken Graham Your sources do not clearly indicate that that the Lutheran Church consider 2 Maccabees to be in the Canon of Scripture. As with the Lutheran Churches, the Anglican Communion accepts "the Apocrypha for instruction in life and manners, but not for the establishment of doctrine", and many "lectionary readings in The Book of Common Prayer are taken from the Apocrypha", with these lessons being "read in the same ways as those from the Old Testament".
