The Calvinist View of Virtues

When a pagan does something right, can he make, can he do a good act? Absolutely. That wouldn't be the case if every action that you did was sinful in some way. So there's a distinction between nature and grace and you can do naturally virtuous actions. In the homilies of Saint Ambrose, he picks out the classical pagan virtues and he ties them into how Christians can understand and read them. And neither the dogmas without good works that is life in Christ are acceptable to God nor does God accept works done without pious dogmas.
