    Faith alone is dead... Scripture clearly affirms so... Scripture says such faith is DEAD... It is Faith without works that is NOT saving Faith... Saving Faith and its works are not separable... If you are right, then works are an integral ingredient of Saving Faith... Separating Saving...

    The RCC does teach that the Saints do Not go to Purgatory because they have nothing to purge, and have an excess of merit which the Church can impart to individuals being purged by temporal punishment in Purgatory... fwiw, The Orthodox understand the soul's ascent after repose being according...

    I understood this Latin Doctrine (it is not an Orthodox one) of Purgatory as an after-death purging of whatever abides in him of sin in his soul, and that it does this purging by temporal punishment - the time needed varying according to the amound of purging needed according to each person's...

    Salvation

    Salvation is entry into and growth in God, and there is no limit to it, because there is no limit to God... Because God first fore-knew those destined to be conformed to the Image of God, these are the fore-saved... It is these whom God calls... And these fore-known ones, whom God has...
