Why do protestants regard our Gospel as different from theirs?

[fhansen]

That says just the opposite:
CANON XVIII.-If any one saith, that the commandments of God are, even for one that is justified and constituted in grace, impossible to keep; let him be anathema.

It says all men, whether justified or not, can keep the Commandments. If anyone says that isn’t true, they are anathema.

No, it distinguishes one who is justified, at least, as having the ability to keep them. But the Inquisition is over and you’ll be relieved to know that you’ll not be handed over to the civil authorities. In fact I’d say, after reading your responses (the ones that applied) as well as more of Trent, the catechism, a little Aquinas and even the 2nd Council of Orange that you probably have a better handle on the pre-justified state of a new believer than I had. To be fair, though, the statement below on its own can be taken to indicate that the Pharisees (of the legalistic kind), even, might be ready candidates for justification:

The Catholic Church Teaches that men must keep the Ten Commandments and begin to live righteous lives before God will wash them of their sins and “justify” them in Baptism.

And my own opinion on Rom 2:13 is that it has less to do with pre-justification than it has to do with how God sees us, in terms of righteousness, at the end when He judges us. My apologies either way; you’re not in error as far as my little brain knows.

Ok, thanks.

This is why I came to the Catholic Church.
