CONFIRMATION is that adult personal acknowledgement of our FAITH! It is very important :)

@watchful38 Hi. I am in the process of becoming Catholic. I just wanted to say that I have never seen anyone use this type of statement about free will and justification. It gave me a much better understanding of what I have already come to believe, as a former anti-Catholic Christian. Thanks and may God richly bless you!

Catholicism teaches that, with grace, i.e., by God's supernatural help(grace), God can move our FREE WILL to embrace the Truth. This is an "internal" Justifcation. Luther's said that We are saved by the Cross alone. Catholics hold that we co-operate in Justification. We can reject God's grace & lose our Faith. We become Christlike internally. "God has shone in our hearts, that we might make known the glory of God ..This treasure we possess in earthen vessels" (2 Cor 4:6f). So Faith is pure gift!

@jacksmack77 We do have eternal life NOW. However we deepen our Faith during our lives. Benedict XVl explains Hebrews 11:1. "Faith is the substance(reality) of things hoped for." In Heaven we will have the fulness of eternal life. "Faith is the act of the intellect when it assents to Divine Truth under the influence of the will moved by God through grace." This is OUR act but only with God's grace. Luther believed only in Jesus' act, we are too corrupt to act. His is an extrinsic salvation! Con
Amen! Praise God!

I love my Catholic Faith. The Eucharist is the true body of Christ and to have that privilege of sharing in this sacrament is amazing.
