Roman Catholicism and Justification
byC. Michael Patton

In this session, we dive into one of the most important differences between Roman Catholic and Protestant theology: justification. What do Catholics mean when they speak of justification as both a process and a state? How does it differ from the Protestant understanding of imputed righteousness by faith alone? This episode carefully unpacks the Catholic view using their own categories—grace, merit, sacraments, and cooperation with God—while also clarifying the classic Protestant response. If you’ve ever been confused about where the lines are drawn, this episode will help you see both the overlap and the sharp distinctions.
