In William Webster's book Rome at the Bar of History on page 96-97 I think he talks about how baptism was one of the only things that was uninaimously believed by the early church which included remission of sins, regeneration, etc.

Yet, I also believe there are many traces of solafide in the early fathers. Yet, if it's true that there is unanimous consent on this view of baptism, how can it also be held that anyone in the early church did believe in solafide if they also all believed that baptism is necessary for remission of sins and regeneration? Is there something I'm missing or do Catholics have a powerful argument on this point?

Please help with good insights.

Thanks,

Cameron
