The Pharisees are everywhere. You know that justification by faith alone is not really alone. To be fully justified you must have infused sanctification with it. Faith without works is dead. Right? Welcome to Rome!

Critics refer to this as a "legal fiction". If our salvation depends on sanctification rather than justification by an imputed and alien righteous not our own, then there can be no assurance of salvation and the Christian is never sure if he or she is yet under the wrath of God.
