And those born of His Spirit WILL do His will.

It’s in their nature to do so and is the natrual outworking of new life in Christ.

Which includes repentance when conviction of not walking according to the Lord's will. But when dealing with the two "sola's" of the Reformation, Cath apologists seem to think the "alone" in SS means that Scripture formally provides all that is needed (which would even include the ability to reason), and that the "alone" sola fide means salvation by a faith that is alone, that is inert. not effectual in producing obedience by the Spirit of Christ. And then they make the effect of faith the cause of the state of justification, versus works being the evidential basis for declaring one is a true holy believer.
