Medieval Views on Salvation and Sins

Exploring the medieval Roman system's perspective on salvation, the chapter contrasts ongoing justification through merit with the Protestant distinction between justification and sanctification. It details the significance of mortal sins leading to a state of grace severance and the role of confession for absolution, shifting focus from baptism to penance. Additionally, it delves into theological debates on sins, the impact of mortal versus venial sins, and the development of purgatory as a means to clear debts in medieval theology.
