      One message I keep hearing from fellow Catholics as I move toward Confirmation is that no Catholic can be said to be a good Catholic. Those who claim to be are vain and excusing their own sins, and those who are humble and close to good will still fall short of the perfect law.

      This is not a bug but rather a feature. Through grace alone can we be said to be good enough. Through love are our sins pardoned. The impossibility of being truly good is often mistaken as a source for guilt and shame and heartache. Grace and love quench this.

      This is also not an excuse to become complacent. The child who loves his father will strive to obey, not rest on his father’s patience and forbearance. We are expected to pursue perfection all the days of our life while understanding that it will always remain beyond our fingers.

      There is freedom, purpose, meaning, and hope in this balance. Imperfection can be forgiven through grace and love. Filial piety demands sincere striving to atone for the past through obedient works now and tomorrow. Those works never create salvation but are outward signs.

      Whoa, that last sentence sounds very Protestant.

      Now I’ve had a few debates with Catholics who would say otherwise. They have a notion of salvation being faith+works. Isn’t this what the Counsel of Trent teaches?

      For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. Show it to anyone who says otherwise.

          But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! James 2:18-19

          But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:20.

          Oh I have. Then they usually whip out James 2, faith without works is dead. Then they argue works are necessary for salvation. My counter is what @Oghma_EM said, works are a sign of the underlining faith.

          You’re exactly right. Works come from faith in the same way oxygen comes out from living plants. Oxygen is a byproduct of the plant’s life process.
