Theological Theses · §926

Can living faith separate from charity? Divided vs composed sense

Rome distinguishes: in divided sense living faith can become dead by losing charity.

In composed sense living (=actually saving) faith cannot exist without charity.

Latin

XXXV. Si quis autem in specie quaerat, An fides viva, quam solam ad salutem & justitiam prodesse concedunt, a charitate separari possit? secundum ipsorum doctrinam per distinctionem quandam respondendum est. Nam in sensu diviso a charitate separari potest, id est, fieri potest, ut fides quae viva est a charitate separetur, & sic non amplius viva, sed mortua sit. Sed in sensu composito fides viva, quae sola actu salvat & justificat, a charitate non potest separari, quia fides sine charitate viva esse non potest, & ad salutem utilis. Nec ista sunt compatibilia, ut fides viva maneat, & tamen sine charitate existat.
