And what? The Catechism and the councils teach salvation by grace alone, with which man must cooperate but which man does not and cannot produce.

DECREE ON JUSTIFICATION (anathemas)
http://history.hanover.edu/texts/trent/ct06.html

Canon 9. If anyone says that the sinner is justified by faith alone, meaning that nothing else is required to cooperate in order to obtain the grace of justification, and that it is not in any way necessary that he be prepared and disposed by the action of his own will, let him be anathema.

Canon 19. If anyone says that nothing besides faith is commanded in the Gospel, that other things are indifferent, neither commanded nor forbidden, but free; or that the ten commandments in no way pertain to Christians, let him be anathema.

Canon 24. If anyone says that the justice received is not preserved and also not increased before God through good works, but that those works are merely the fruits and signs of justification obtained, but not the cause of its increase, let him be anathema.

Canon 27. If anyone says that there is no mortal sin except that of unbelief, or that grace once received is not lost through any other sin however grievous and enormous except by that of unbelief, let him be anathema.

You seemed to have missed the change in language on justification by faith from Orange to Trent.

There is a significant difference.

Trent embraced semi Pelagian language.
