This chapter explores the Catholic Reform, in which the Catholic Church, through the Council of Trent, speaks of justification as both an event and a process through which all believers must go. The Council of Trent argues that one can never be certain of one’s salvation and that believers grow in holiness through the performance of good works, perfected by grace.
