Romans with Reformed: idle faith dead, hypocritical, useless to save

Rome with the Reformed grants idle workless faith is rightly called dead and hypocritical, useless for salvation and justice, saves and justifies no one, and is not believing well as one ought.

Latin

XLIII. Rursus ostendimus Doctores Scholae Romanae, non minus quam ipsos Reformatos fateri fidem illam otiosam & vacuam bonis operibus jure merito dici mortuam & hypocriticam, eamque esse ad salutem & justitiam inutilem, neque quenquam per illam servari & justificari, & etiam illum qui credit tantum istiusmodi fide non credere bene & sicut oportet.
