The Catholics believe that righteousness is something that is a co-work between God and man St Mark the Ascetic, believed to have been a disciple of St. John Chrysostomos, says in Philokalia:
"Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice"
