Thank you so much for your insights! I wonder if the problem with the term "sanctification" isn't exacerbated by our "instant gratification" society?

LOL It well could be.

I think the error of our RC FRiends is rooted in their incorrectly defining down justification into a kind of sanctification; as if their very salvation depends on their continual, progressive sanctification and not upon the finished work of Christ upon the cross.

Justification is the cause of our salvation; sanctification is the effect.
