Opposite camp: only means-to-beatitude are effects.

Attainment of beatitude itself is not an effect.

Because praedestinatio = grace-decree only — Durandus (via Valencia).

Latin

VIII. Alii vero contra pretendunt sola media ad aeternam beatitudinem esse effectus praedestinationis, minime autem ipsam beatitudinis assecutionem. Et hoc quia nomen praedestinationis restringunt ad decretum de gratia communicanda, nec eo comprehendi volunt decretum de danda gloria. Quae est opinio Durandi, teste eodem Gregorio de Valentia loco modo citato.
