All things come from God, including our faith. As St. Cyprian stated, "There is not anything you have that has not been given to you." including your faith. This is what most people wish to deny these days thinking they can ascend to the heavens by their choice. That didn't work long ago and it still doesn't work.
Fair spoken.
But please remember that we do not and have never claimed, not for 2000 years, that man can ascend to heaven by his own effort. We have declared heretical this belief. We keep getting accused directly or else implied that we think so. I wonder what we’re going to have to do other than frogmarch the accusers through the Catechism. They’re used to be frogmarched, aren’t they? :)
We believe, however, that God reaches out with His Grace to all, not those elected from the cosmic bingo barrel.
