Justification

CRITICAL: the Hungarian Reformed tradition, following Károli Gáspár’s foundational 1590 Vizsolyi Biblia and Calvinist theology, reads ‘megigazulás’ as a forensic, once-for-all declaration received by faith alone (sola fide); Catholic tradition reads it, per Trent, as a process of infused, merit-cooperated transformation. Romans 3-5’s argument must be translated to preserve the forensic sense without erasing the Reformed community’s classical reading or alienating the Catholic-majority audience by treating Trent’s category as simply wrong within the translated text itself.
