How's that?

An equivocation.

It's alien righteousness all the way through. No intrinsic righteousness. Every good work is grace and the only meaning is found in God.

An equivocation.

What PRECISELY do you mean? Are suggesting that I intended to be equivocal? If so my fears for trying once again to deal with you with courtesy are once again justified.

If you do not mean to characterize my intention, then you MUST be able to show PRECISELY where a word or a phrase was used in a dual sense, which is what "equivocal" implies

If every good work is grace, does that mean that when Hindu feeds the poor he is acting out of grace or that it is not a good work?

If there were a dishonest man at your church who claimed to be saved but was notoriously dishonest in his dealings would you buy a used car from him rather than from an atheist with a reputation for square dealing?

That's not meant as a trap.

For the rest, every good gift comes from God. The only thing any human can contribute without God's involvement is sin. That is Catholic teaching.

Ah yes, the man-made error sola fide makes its appearance. And...what's that?...a tinge of man-made TULIP sauce to further poison the palate?

Repent.
