[Gamecock]

The effect of our justification is that that righteousness is truly communicated to us and inhabits our soul, it is not merely "imputed" to our "account" as some sort of legal fiction

You mean like the Bible teaches?

I cannot imagine why it so pushes RC’s over the edge to think that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us, credited to our account, without us having to earn it. Nothing seems to set them off more than to think that God is merciful and gives us His salvation and righteousness as a gift.

You’d think anyone in their right minds would jump at the chance.

Go figure.
