“Not in Scripture. There is no sacramental system that imputes any grace.”

Imputes? No. Gives? Yes. Example: Acts 22:16: “Now, why delay? Get up and have yourself baptized and your sins washed away, calling upon his name.”

Only grace can wash away sins. And notice it is WASH AWAY and not pretend they aren’t there or gee, we’ll impute they’re gone. No, they’re washed away - through grace through a sacrament.

I might be able to take your comments more seriously if you were attacking what Catholics actually believe, but your comment about “There is no sacramental system that imputes any grace” shows you don’t even know what the Catholic Church teaches let alone what the Bible says.

I know what the Roman church teaches about a sacramental system is not in Scripture and cannot save.
