FK, in general this sounds very Orthodox

Except that is follows, not preceeds our salvation.

" Except that is follows, not preceeds our salvation."

I didn't get the impression that FK was puting theosis before all of this, rather that he was putting it afterwards, as the end result. Remember, FK uses the word salvation differently than we do, Kosta. If in fact FK, you mean to put theosis at the beginnig of this process, in other words, that an individual has become somehow completely like Christ and is dead to the self before this process of sanctification, then I would say that you've got it exactly backwards. But I get the impression you're not saying that at all.
