I didn't mean to avoid an argument, but it doesn't belong to a thread about confession. The notion that salvation is by faith alone is not supported by the scripture. I wrote a summary of what the Church teaches on faith, grace and works not long ago; I'd be happy to explain further on an appropriate thread.

Here is a very good article that addresses common Protestant fallacy of irresistible grace, salvation by faith alone, and the related matters Assurance of Salvation?.

No one said anything about salvation, although chances are you don't understand that either.

Wow, there is that Spirit of Love expressing itself again. And you want to lecture on this matter?

You must be a lawyer...

Like I said, whatever you say.

It may also be helpful to point out Augustine's writing on the matter of Predestination of the Saints

You'll find Augustine believed in irresistible grace. Perhaps he was the first Protestant, eh?
