There are still people on the hard edge of the Reformation who will bitterly defend imputed righteousness over against the "Romish heresy of infused righteousness".

LOL. "Hard edge"?!?

Almost to a one, Bible-believing Christians will affirm our salvation by the imputed righteousness of Christ, and not according to the lie of Rome that says Christ's righteousness is infused into us, thereby permitting a man's good works to earn him his salvation.

The devil is indeed in the details.

That would seem to explain why you get so many of them wrong.

Yeah, like this one you fumble completely:

the lie of Rome that says Christ's righteousness is infused into us, thereby permitting a man's good works to earn him his salvation

Someone infused with Christ's righteousness is saved already, and couldn't "earn him his salvation" if he tried.

There is no righteousness other than the imputed righteousness that is ours through the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Let all who wish to trust their own righteousness go ahead and take that stand.

As for me, I recognize my utter sinfulness and my absolute need for mercy. Without mercy I am lost. Others might want to get there another way, but I'm sticking with the way of Grace. It's my only hope.

It is by Grace that I have been saved through faith.
