Rome maintains that justification begins with baptism, as the habit or disposition of grace is planted in the soul. This renews the individual, thus giving him or her a capacity for cooperating with Gods grace in the process of justification. Later, there are other sacraments that may be appropriated for the infusion or inpouring of grace. Sin may interupt or impede this progress, but the sacrament of penance may restore the level of grace necessary to continue the process of justification.

Something I learned was Catholics have reinterpreted the atonement as well. There is no mention of Christ dying as a subsitute for your sins. That's simply because they have reinterpreted the atonement to mean it was only an act of love.

That's nonsense, Harley.
