[A.J.Armitage]

How can one be justly punished for something one didn't do?

I don't understand what you're asking.

If they need help, how are they better than the ones damned, and thus why do they deserve salvation more than the damned?

They aren't and they don't. Salvation is entirely unmerited.

[Pistias]

Salvation is entirely unmerited

And thus arbitrary?

And I was cheating on the first one--challenging the Original Sin is going too far.
