That is not the Catholic teaching though so you cannot say that I moved the goalpost. Sanctification is the process of drawing closer to Christ both in faith and in works, which results in salvation at the time of death.

IOW, you have to work at your salvation to try to attain it.

It's really a shame that so many people are being snowed into thinking that's the way to get to heaven because they are going to find out the hard way someday, that that is wrong.

We are saved THEN sanctified. Only the saved are sanctified, set apart when they are saved.

We cannot be sanctified into salvation.
