What exactly is necessary for justification?

[PJM]

=gabjus;9383522]Can I just check (since I’m a Protestant) that since all of the above are essential, does it mean that ‘Christians’ who do not fulfil all of the above criteria will not be justified?

I wrote a paper of which I devoted some paragraphs to addressing and defending the RC’s view of justification. It is far from comprehensive, since my main audience was to Protestants so I did not want to go broader than necessary. You can have a look at it if you want.

There are some books I found particularly helpful in my research

1. I cannot find the original article, but its in ’
   Armstrong, John H. Roman Catholicism: Evangelical Protestants Analyze What Divides and Unites Us. Chicago: Moody Press, 1994.’
   Its actually a compilation of write-ups I think, of which I found the one by Alister E. McGrath particularly helpful. (There are some other authors which I find rather offensive, so you might just want to read McGrath.)
   Ok I just found the title, "Chapter 9. What shall we make of ecumenism? by Alister E. McGrath.
2. Toon, Peter. Protestants and Catholics: a Guide to Understanding the Differences Among Christians. Ann Arbor, MI: Servant Books, 1983.
3. Several of Karl Keating books (I only know of 3).

U might want to read the reviews about it 1st, since I’m unsure if such stuff is very basic for a regular Catholic.

Hope it’s helpful

*The list is the MINIMUM requirements.

And yes because everything I included is BIBLICAL; it does mean everyone MUST do at least ALL of the ABOVE

Consider that the CC is:

The ONLy Church in existence when the Bible was written so when ever one reads “Church”; it is the CC precisely and exclusively being addressed.

Because of this what the CC teaches is what God Himself commands.

The Protestant revolt caused a FLOOD of “MEISM” religions and personal-choice sets of “faith beliefs”; BUT they are NOT Gods; not inspired; and NOT protected by BOTH the Holy Spirit and Christ Himself: John 20:19-23; John 17;15-19

It is indispuitable that Christ mandate to “Teach” was to the Apostles Exclusively; [and by absolute necessity because of the “World-WIDE” mandate, their successors] Matt.28: 16-20

Did you knowm that in the NT alone there are more than 100 proofs of Christ [who is God] desire for ONLY one Church and only One set of Faith beliefs:thumbsup: And this si also true of YAHWEH in the OT.

God Bless you my friend, *
