Theological Theses · §928

Rome grants living faith never without charity; Reformed grant fall from living love

Rome grants: living faith never without charity; no actually-saving faith without works of love.

Reformed also grant: once-living faith can lose love, cease justifying for a time, and leave the person unaccepted.

Latin

XXXVII. Vicissim Scholae Romanae Doctores Reformatis concedunt, fidem vivam a charitate & bonis operibus separatam nunquam existere; nec ullam fidem actu servare & justificare, quae cum charitate & bonis operibus juncta non sit. Quod vero dicunt fidem quae jam per dilectionem operatur, & hominem in statu gratiae & salutis constituit, a dilectione separari posse, & in eo remanere in quo non amplius est ea charitas, & illud studium bonorum operum quae ad salutem necessaria sunt: quo casu fides ab actu justificandi cessat, nec pro illo tempore hominem Deo gratum reddit, & acceptum ad vitam aeternam, a Reformatis non negatur.
