The agreement recognized that "by grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit I seem to remember this was agreed upon at the meeting, but higher headquarters in Rome said no dice.
Plus the RC on FR seem to disagree with this statement.
We want unity too, but that doesn't mean I am unifying with a group that denies that we are saved by faith alone in Christ alone.

If it was nixed, I presume it was for a different reason, as the Church has affirmed salvation by grace alone since the second synod of Orange.
