Regarding that Karl Adam quote, the Catholic Church does teach Grace Alone. What we dont teach is Faith Alone. The first is biblical, the second is not. Grace alone for what? :) Since in Catholicism grace alone results in the salvation of no one for certain, what is the distinction with faith alone? My guess would be the physical requirements needed for salvation along with faith, like water baptism. On Sola Fide, Eph. 2:8-10 says it in no uncertain terms. Sola Fide is biblical.

Grace alone means that woth faith and good works are the result of Divine Grace and nothing else. Eph 2 says the same thing: that works do not produce grace. It does not say that works do not produce faith.
