This probably shocks you. Can you tell the
difference between Christianity and Roman Catholicism?
The Catholic church is all for unity, and in
fact seems puzzled, that there has ever been any differences, stating that past
disturbances have been nothing but misunderstanding and ignorance.
A: It is a grace which makes us friends with
God
Q: Can
a sinner merit this justifying grace?
A: No, he cannot; because all the good works
which a sinner performs whilst he is in a state of mortal sin, are dead works
which have no merit sufficient to justify.
Q: Is
it an article of the Catholic faith, that the sinner in mortal sin, cannot
merit the grace of justification?
A: Yes; it is decreed in the seventh chapter
of the sixth session of the Council of Trent, that neither faith, nor good
works, preceding justification, can merit the grace of justification.
Q: How
then is the sinner justified?
A: He is justified gratuitously by the pure
mercy of God, not on account of his own or any human merit, but purely through
the merits of Jesus Christ; for Jesus Christ is our only mediator of
redemption, who alone, by his passion and death, has reconciled us to his
Father.
Q: Why
then do Christians charge with believing, that the sinner can merit the
remission of his sins?
A: Their ignorance of the Catholic doctrine
is the cause of this, as well as many other false charges.
“Should the doctrine of justification by
faith be lost, then all is lost.” (Martin Luther)
