[Campion]

The Council saw justification as a process whereby the sinner is actually made righteous.

So did Paul. So does God; God enacts reality by his declaration, so trying to say -- as Luther did -- that God can declare the sinner "righteous" without actually making him righteous is nonsense.

[Jmouse007]

You are wrong, neither God's word or the apostle Paul viewed Justification as a process but as something that takes place the moment one puts their faith in Christ alone for their salvation:

Biblical Christianity holds that men are totally depraved and are justified before a holy God as a gift by His grace through faith alone, completely apart from works (Romans 3:19–28 [Rom. 3:20, 3:24, 3:28], 4:3, 4:5, 5:1, 5:9; and Ephesians 2:8–9).
