YoungCatholic,

As you are hopefully aware, much of the denial by non-Roman Christians of key doctrines of the Roman church centers on the allegation that Rome has redefined certain terms, wresting them away from their proper usage in the Holy Scriptures and thus making shipwreck of the faith once delivered to the saints.

Prominent among those terms is justification.

Above you quoted this statement (without attribution, btw: whose words are these?):
Quote
Following Augustine, the Catholic church asserts that people are unable to make themselves righteous; instead, they require "justification."

Catholic theology holds that God's righteousness is infused into the sinner when he or she partakes of the sacrament of baptism (either by actually being baptized- or by being baptized through Spirit ), combined with faith

It would greatly help me to better understand your position--and since you seem to have been speaking propter Roma, Rome's as well--if you were to clarify the meaning you attach to the term justification by answering the following question:

Assume a living individual "A" who at a certain point in his life, with no consideration of his own awareness of the fact or lack thereof, is regarded by God as justified.

Are there any circumstances at all that would cause "A", at a later point in his life, to be regarded by God as not justified?

A simple yes or no answer could bring much clarity to your statements.
