Faith: The Cornerstone of Justification
Faith serves as the essential initiation, foundation, and root of justification, making it an indispensable element in the process. Contrary to the belief that justification can occur through works alone, faith is necessary for the establishment of justification. However, the presence of faith does not exempt individuals from committing mortal sin, which can lead to a loss of justification. In such cases, restoration is required as outlined by the doctrine of Trent, emphasizing the need for a second chance for those who face spiritual downfall.
