FK: "Which of our sides believes in infused righteousness and which believes in imputed righteousness? There's your answer to that!"

The Orthodox teach neither to the best of my knowledge.

Then what is justification in Orthodoxy? Catholics and Reformers believe it involves an act of Christ, although different acts. :)

FK: "No, no. We honor Paul. We don't worship him, and we especially do not venerate him."

LOL! Do you even know what veneration means, FK? It is synonymous with honoring!

I should have put it in quotes. :) All I meant was to contrast how it is described and how it really seems to us when we see it in practice. :)

This may help (from orthodoxinfo.com):

[T]he concept and term "justification" play almost no role in Orthodox theology, where "justification" is commonly not even distinguished from "sanctification," but both are seen as a united and inseparable part of the Christian's process of spiritual development. Certainly, its role is minor compared to the major position it occupies in Protestant thinking. Thus, the index to Timothy [now Bishop Kallistos] Ware's The Orthodox Church does not include the term, nor is it found in a number of Orthodox theological dictionaries...Once again, while the treatment is not "wrong" from an Orthodox standpoint, the very discussion and term sound strange to Orthodox ears.
