Ron askes:<br>(1) Is justification a process that encompasses sanctification?<br><br>(2) Are one's post-baptismal works meritorious in any way? <br><br>Scott answers:<br>(1) In Catholic teaching, you can find the terms justification and sanctification mixed.<br> <br>(2) Yes, if done in the state of grace, they can add to rewards in heaven. They don't "add to salvation" (as some are attempting to make the teaching say) for you either are saved or you're not - it's pretty black and white when it comes to salvation. Works contribute to that upon which we are judged. Our works will be tested by fire, and if any are burned up, we will suffer loss.<br> <br>In JMJ,<br><font face="Brush Script MT" class="bigger">Scott<<<</font><br>
