Are you a Baptist with a big B? Chuck certainly was.

I still have yet to see a response to the declaration of the Council of Trent as it was cited.  Is someone's misreading of a catachism have more authority than a clear statement from the magisterium?  Not surprised about the misreading by little thin-skinned one...already proved that was his/her or its mode of operation with Scripture.

Don't hold your breath.  Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

Trent said it this way:
If anyone says that men are justified either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ or by the sole remission of sins, to the exclusion of the grace and the charity which is poured forth in their hearts by the Holy Ghost, and remains in them, or also that the grace by which they were justified is only the good will of God, let him be anathema.

The word "Sola" is anathema to Catholic definition of grace, plain and simple.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them,

[quote author=rsc2a]Yup...I definitely see how the Catholic Church pulled that statement out of their butts.

You think our works justify us?
