And what was this man's "work"? It was FAITH!

My impression is that in Catholic thought faith is a grace AND a work. In Protestant thought, however, it is simply a gift, a grace

Is faith a work in your thought?

I wouldn't argue with that definition. However, I believe the average Catholic doesn't see "work" in that light.

IMO there is a vast difference in CATHOLIC thought and "Catholic" understanding.

Frankly, I believe the Protestant has the better argument concerning Faith, Grace, and Works.

Oh, if we could only all work with the same dictionary. Sigh!
