[Dr. Eckleburg]

Protestants do not disagree that we will be judged by our works but those judgements do not effect our justification rather our reward.

Amen! Rome's denial of that fact resulted in the Reformation.

We are saved by Christ's righteousness and good works and obedience, all mercifully imputed to us, and by not our own righteousness, good works or obedience. If that were not true, then salvation would be based on debt instead of mercy.

[Natural Law]

"Amen! Rome's denial of that fact resulted in the Reformation."

Rome is an ancient, now defunct empire. Now riddle me this. If "sola" means sole or only, how can their be five solas? Must one have all five solas for salvation or does one only have to score 20% on the practical exam?

[the_conscience]

One more time in bold:

We are saved by Christ's righteousness and good works and obedience, all mercifully imputed to us, and by not our own righteousness, good works or obedience. If that were not true, then salvation would be based on debt instead of mercy.

The natural man hates the thought of sovereign grace and if the natural man does not outright reject grace the natural man will turn grace into a pagan plaything to be manipulated by his will.
