In this Catholic Answers Live episode, we examine the Catholic understanding of justification in light of Scripture. The discussion begins with James 2:24 and the question of being “justified by works,” followed by the Church’s rejection of works preceding initial justification. We then explain how Catholics reconcile good works with grace through cooperation, respond to Romans 3:28 and “works of the law,” and conclude with a defense of Sacred Tradition alongside Scripture. A clear, step-by-step breakdown of how faith, grace, works, and tradition fit together in Catholic teaching.
