Ken,

We're even I don't want my daughter marrying a BAC.  I'll settle for HighE. :-)

The big fight over salavtion with the Lutherans was over sole fide or a mix.

We have been consistently taught that an individual will BE saved after death
if there exists both true faith AND good works. Just being baptized isn't
going to make up for a sinful life.  One needs to die not in the state of
mortal sin.  If one dies in the state of grace but with much yet to
atone for one goes to Purgatory.

We have signed a theological non-aggression pact with the Lutherans over this.

I've read abstracts of the "pact" but I have not assimilated it.

I am going to get copies of Tridentine pronouncements for quotation.
Ken,  we need to compare sources.  Make sure that yours are authentic
translations.  Mine will have the Imprimatur.

BTW what is your net address?????

Vince.
