Salvation Through Union with Christ: Catholic Perspective

This chapter dissects the Catholic belief that salvation is attained through union with Christ rather than faith alone. It clarifies the misconception of merit in Catholic theology, emphasizing that works are not to earn salvation but as a response to God's promises. The discussion delves into the doctrine of rewards, the importance of obedience to Christ, and unfolds the nuanced comparison with Calvinist and Lutheran views on justification, faith, works, and the Lord's Supper.
