• By following religious laws

• By doing good deeds

• By confessing sins to a priest

What does "imputation" mean in the doctrine of justification?

• God makes us sinless immediately

• We must work to earn righteousness

• Our sins are ignored but not forgiven

• Christ’s righteousness is credited to believers

What is the key difference between the Protestant and Roman Catholic views on justification?

• Protestants believe in faith alone, while Catholics include works and sacraments

• Both believe that faith alone is enough for justification

• Protestants believe in penance as necessary for justification

• There is no difference between the two views

Why did God choose faith as the means of justification?
