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?
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!
