ROME

CANON 9: “If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.”

True. Well said.

Please understand that "of his own will" doesn't mean a will entirely cut off from God -- which is a dreadful, horrible thing to even think of --- but a will which is in itself a gift of God, yet truly his own.

God does not have the only Will in the universe. That would be the claim made by Islamic theologians, of Allah.

And here's another one:

Council of Trent, session 6, Canon 21: “If anyone says that Jesus Christ was given by God to men as a redeemer in whom they are to trust but not also as a lawgiver whom they are bound to obey, let him be anathema.”
