• Doctrine

  Grace

  Catholic sacramental grace (mediated through the sacraments) and Reformed sola gratia are the same French word with different doctrinal freight; must always reinforce 'apart from merit'.

  ROM.5.2, ROM.5.15-17, ROM.5.20-21

• Glossary Term

  Grace

  Same word used by Catholic and Protestant traditions, but the theology differs: Catholic catechesis ties grâce to sacramental mediation ('état de grâce' via confession); Reformed/Segond tradition insists on grâce apart from any ecclesial mediation.
