That's discussing the *fruits of justification*, that is, those already justified ... hence the title.

Trent, Decree on Justification, Chapter 7 1/13/1547:

The causes of this justification are the following:

1. The final cause is the glory of God and of Christ, and life everlasting.
2. The efficient cause is the merciful God, who freely washes and sanctifies, sealing and anointing with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is the pledge of our inheritance
3. The meritorious cause is the beloved only-begotten Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, who, when we were enemies, by reason of his very great love wherewith he has loved us, merited justification for us by his own most holy Passion on the wood of the Cross, and made satisfaction for us to God the Father

The document goes on to discuss the instrumental causes (baptism and faith), and the formal cause, "the justice of God, not the justice by which he is himself just, but the justice by which he makes us just, namely the justice which we have AS A GIFT FROM HIM ..."

Do you want to apologize to me?

>>That's discussing the *fruits of justification<<

I don’t care what it’s discussing. You said that what metmom posted was not something the RCC says. I simply showed you that in fact the record shows that indeed it was something that is contained in the record of the RCC.

I’m not going to follow you down some rabbit trail discussing the intracasies of what the RCC teaches. There are enough blatant contradictions to what scripture teaches such as the incorporation of pagan rituals, vestments, and beliefs that any person who is truly born again and indwelt by the Holy Spirit would avoid the RCC like a plague.
