All the sins of the past are wiped out and the baptized Catholic has a clean slate. But where the papists equivocate is that AFTER baptism any sins committed subsequently must be paid for through the sacrament of penance. Also, the papist view is that at baptism the person is not only imputedCharlie J.

I wonder why that is?<br /><br />I guess Rome has to strike out at a straw man: antinomianism. <br /><br />Too bad Catholics are unwilling to deal with the actual arguments of Reformed Protestants rather than caricatures....<br /><br />Charlie J.

Not only this, but Rome gets to say, "We have addition revelation in our oral traditions." Nice dodge. However, the Scriptures are self-validating as the very words of God inspired by the Holy Spirit. So any explanation of one verse in James that would contradict what both Charlie J.

You have broken every one of God's laws and you pretend that you are sinless. Since God requires ABSOLUTE sinlessness only Jesus could be saved. Everyone else would be lost.

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we (Catholics) believe we are justified by our initial conversion through faith when we repent. This justification cannot be merited. That gets us to purgatory. We believe we are still sinners after this. That is why we have confession.
