"If anyone says that the good works of the one justified are in such manner the gifts of God that they are not also the good merits of him justified;... let him be anathema."

What you said earlier is not identical to that, sorry. The canon is clearly speaking of those who are already justified, not of earning merits to obtain salvation that has not already been won.

And no, you don't get to tell us what Trent means any more than we get to tell you what the Westminster Confession or Luther's Small Catechism means.

Those who lose the grace of Justification through sinning are not required works of merit?

And no, you don't get to tell us what Trent means any more than we get to tell you what the Westminster Confession or Luther's Small Catechism means.

I guess we can all shut off our computers and the debates are over since neither of us can know anything about the other.

Just catching up, but if the RCC believed in Faith Alone, why were so many killed for believing that during the Reformation.
