people” (Vatican II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy,Apostolic Constitution on the Revision of Indulgences, chap. 3,6, pp. 78,79).Rome’s gospel is a heretical combination of faith plusworks, grace plus sacraments, Christ plus the church. Itredefines grace to include works. It confuses justification withsanctification. It confuses imputation with impartation. Itviews justification not as a once-for-all legal declarationwhereby the sinner is declared righteous before God and isgranted eternal life as the unmerited gi of God, but rather asa PROCESS whereby the sinner is gradually saved throughparticipation in the sacraments. ere is no eternal securityin the Roman gospel because salvation allegedly dependspartially upon man's works. According to Roman Catholictheology, Christ purchased salvation and gave it to theCatholic Church to be distributed to men through itssacraments. is is not only a false gospel, it is a blasphemoususurpation of Christ's position as only Lord and Saviour andMediator.Our Sunday Visitor's Catholic Encyclopedia, published in1991, defines justification as “THE PROCESS by which asinner is made righteous, pure and holy before God.”“Justification in the Catholic Tradition comes about by meansof faith in Christ, AND in a life of good works lived inresponse to God's invitation to believe. ... at works areclearly required in the New Testament for union with Christ isseen in the many parables such as the Good Samaritan,Lazarus and Dives, and others” (emphasis added).erefore, when committed Roman Catholics like MattMaher and John Michael Talbot sing of Christ’s grace, theydon’t mean what the Bible means. ey are using a RomanCatholic theological dictionary, but because of thewidespread ignorance that exists in “evangelical” and even“fundamentalist” churches people are deceived by thelanguage.221
