Remission is free, not merited by inherent justice
Inherent holiness does not remove need of free pardon for sins before and after justification.
Remission is not merited by any justice or preparatory works in us.
Latin
XXXVI. Sicut autem sanctitas & justitia illa, quam fidelibus indit Spiritus Sanctus, non obstat quominus egeant divina clementia, & misericordia, ad remissionem pec-catorum suorum, tam quae admiserunt ante suam justificationem, quam quae post illam quotidie admittunt: ita quoque remissio illa, respectu nostri, plane gratuita est; nec putandum est Deum nos in gratiam recipere, & peccata nobis condonare, pro-pter justitiam ullam quae nobis inest, sive propter illa opera, quibus ad veram justi-tiam & sanctitatem disponimur: quasi opera quaedam nostra aut justitia nobis per Spiritum Sanctum impressa, meritoria essent remissionis peccatorum nostrorum.
