Scott B. writes: The catechism flatly rejects justification by faith alone. The *mass* itself examples a work that is continuous, which contradicts the tetelestai sacrifice that protestantism embraces. <br><br>Scott W. responds: [color:purple]Again, it depends on how one is using "justification." If you're talking justification means a process of sanctification, then all I've said works and is completely consistent with Trent. If you insist that justification means salvation - then I can see how you've interpretted what I've said as being inconsistent - but it's not me being inconsistent, rather it's you (and others) forcing your interpretation upon the teachings of Trent and the Catechism.</font color=purple><br><br>Scott B. continues: So much more...........I suggest you approach this platform you stand on in a different light and just admit that that which you embrace *is not* the typical RC stance. It would be much easier to discuss ideas with you.<br> <br>Scott W. responds: [color:purple]Yes, it would make it much easier if I just agree with you and your misapplication of Catholic teachings - but I won't do that.<br> <br>In JMJ,<br>Scott<<<</font color=purple><br>
