i agree.

it's very good and concise, of course and i like that you wrote original holiness/loss of preternatural gifts ... the only thing i would add is a note to go to the Catechism for further clarification because "There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church" might cause unnecessary alarm... maybe an asterix? Also i should say that i was hoping to learn how we do not hold a protestant "punishment/atonement theory" and similar warped theological interpretations.

Yeah, maybe I can make it even better over time, but....you know. 1 page.

I am using this handout to explain salvation tonight during our RCIA class. Trying to explain salvation in one page just about made my brain explode.

The reason I bumped up this thread is because I can't seem to get my head around the distinction between salvation and justification. How is justification not salvation, and vice versa? I know... but I don't know. You know?

They are very much intertwined and can be used interchangeably. When someone asks if you are saved, they are asking a question about being justified before God. There are theological nuances though. For instance a Catholic would say we have been justified/saved by our baptism, but are still being saved and must keep the faith to the end.

Read this part of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. In order to be saved, we need to be justified.

 

"The grace of the Holy Spirit has the power to justify us, that is, to cleanse us from our sins and to communicate to us "the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ" and through Baptism: But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves as dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus."

 

"Salvation comes from God alone; but because we receive the life of faith through the Church."

 

Justification is the actualization of God's grace in us that
