Real Catholics and real Orthodox are here, and are perfectly capable of presenting our own beliefs.

Are there special decoder glasses needed to read your canons or are they plain to all who read them?

"If anyone says that the good works of the one justified are in such manner the gifts of God that they are not also the good merits of him justified;... let him be anathema."[

What you said earlier is not identical to that, sorry. The canon is clearly speaking of those who are already justified, not of earning merits to obtain salvation that has not already been won.

And no, you don't get to tell us what Trent means any more than we get to tell you what the Westminster Confession or Luther's Small Catechism means.

We bring the Good News of Christ to all the world. To the receptive, to the heathen and to those who would spit in our face and pluck our beards.
