Roman consensus: not immediate sufficiency for salvation — faith needs Christ known

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

All Roman doctors agree: not everyone gets grace that immediately suffices for salvation.

Adults need faith in Christ.

No faith without Christ preached or otherwise made known.

Many have never even heard Christ's name.

Latin

V. Est autem observandum inter omnes Scholae Romanae Doctores convenire, quod non omnibus hominibus detur gratia quae immediate ad adipiscendam salutem sufficiat. Ad hoc enim fatentur adultorum respectu necessariam esse fidem in Christum, quam quis habere non potest, nisi Christus ipsi praedicetur, aut alio quodam modo innotescat: cum tamen palam sit multis hominibus Christi nomen prorsus inauditum esse.
