Issue is whether application is faith-act or only fiducia-act (Vasquez names it faith)
The real question is not whether the believer may/should apply grace promises, but whether that application is a faith-act (Reformed) or only a fiducia-act (Rome).
Even so, some Romans including Vasquez still name that persuasion about obtained or future grace as faith.
Latin
LXVIII. Itaque quaestio non est, An fidelis possit & debeat gratiae promissiones sibi applicare, sed an applicatio ista sit fidei actus? quod tenent Reformati: An vero non fidei, sed fiduciae tantum actus censeri debeat? quae est sententia Doctorum Ecclesiae Romanae. Et tamen inter ipsos Ecclesiae Romanae Doctores non desunt qui istam persuasionem, quam fidelis aliquis concipit de gratia Dei, sive jam obtenta, sive in futurum obtinenda, fidei nomine donent, quo de numero esse Gabrielem Vasquez Jesuita manifestum faciunt quae supra ex ipso allata fuerunt.
