Twitter version I 

Erickson provides a Reformed position that justification is God’s actions through Christ in legally pronouncing sinners righteous. Erickson (1994: 954). 

Twitter version II 

Schreck discusses the Roman Catholic concept and states that justification and salvation are free gifts of God not earned by any work or even faith. Those who are justified, however, should keep the commandments. 

Twitter version III 

Roman Catholics are to persevere in faith and good works, even though works do not save a person. Works are a fruit of true faith. Schreck (1984: 26-27).
