Shared ground: Roman and Protestant doctors agree the living faithful can and ought to trust their reconciliation
On Le Blanc’s reading the live dispute is not whether justified believers may firmly trust their reconciliation.
Roman doctors openly teach that living faith both can and ought to yield certain persuasion of pardon—common ground with Protestants.
Latin
XXX. Porro ex iis quae a nobis tum in hac disputatione, tum in praecedenti exposita sunt patet, inter Theologos Ecclesiae Romanae & Protestantes quaestionem non esse, An fideles per Christi gratiam justificati adeo possint, & debeant firmiter esse persuasi, & suae cum Deo reconciliationis certam habere fiduciam; quandoquidem, jam ostendimus, communi cum Protestantibus consensu, id fateri Doctores Scholae Romanae: quorum aperta doctrina est eos qui viva fide in Christum praediti sunt, non tantum posse, sed etiam debere, de remissione peccatorum suorum, & sua apud Deum justitia confidere, & certam habere persuasionem.
