But which does not mean that salvific faith is one that is inert, and is unrelated to obedience, but that it is expressive, effectual faith which effects obedience that is counted for righteousness, making the believer "accepted in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:6) on His account.

Good, but then somehow (which I find hard to believe) after years on FR, you must think this is contrary to the sola fide of Reformers or whom "Perseverance of the saints" is a requirement for claiming to be one of the elect.

Or were you mistaken in your affirmation of my description of sola fide?
