Does the soteriology reflected below describe Christianity in a way that all of us can agree with? Instead of differences I wanted to see where we can unite. —-2011 The charity of Christ is the source in us of all our merits before God. Grace, by uniting us to Christ in active love, ensures the supernatural quality of our acts and consequently their merit before God and before men. the saints have always had a lively awareness that their merits were pure grace.
