Considering the fact that some schools of thought in Roman Catholicism, such as Bañezian Thomism, teach that there is predestination prior to merits ( God predestines the elect before considering their future actions) and reprobation (condemnation) in view of future evil actions, how do the Eastern Catholics view these western debates about predestination and free will?

I think that is a bit of an oversimplification of the Thomist position, or at least a narrow scope of it. However, I’ll leave that for another topic. I’m posting and following because I’m interested in the eastern perspectives on predestination and free will.

Edit: Googling, I found an Orthodox Synod of Jerusalem from the 17th century which pertains to this question, but as I’m not an Eastern Catholic nor very educated in eastern theology I don’t want to presume this resolves the situation or write for them.
