For anyone willing to investigate, you can listen to Dr. Richard Gaffin, Jr.'s lectures on union with Christ for free at Monergism.com. Dr. Gaffin is a proponent of the Federal Vision within the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and openly denies that sanctification is the logical result of justification. Instead, Dr. Gaffin says that justification and sanctification are united together through the doctrine of union with Christ and that no one will be saved apart from both faith and good works. Gaffin also openly states that salvation is corporate and that no one can be saved apart from church membership. You can hear him state his heretical views clearly at the end of lecture 1 here at the Monergism.com website:
The Mystery of Union with Christ
