Though Sola Fide was coined by Martin Luther, he was in sync with these precepts: baptism for the remission of sin, private confession for the remission of sin and eating the body of the Lord in communion. How can you pry Sola Fide free from this foundation without irreparably fracturing both it and its handmaid, Sola Scriptura?
Benny16 wrote: Justification; The Roman Road. "According to Rome, there are three main sacraments necessary for justification and ultimate salvation. These sacraments supposedly communicate grace to an individual and help to maintain him in a state of sanctifying grace. They are baptism, penance, and the eucharist/mass. Through baptism, an individual is brought into a state of regeneration and sanctifying grace. The guilt and punishment for original sin and for all sins committed up to the point of baptism are forgiven in the sacrament of baptism. Trent states that no one can be justified apart from the sacrament of penance (the confession of sin to a Roman Catholic priest...)" (William Webster)
