We quote below what appears on the youtube. This is about 9-minutes. Drs. John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, D. James Kennedy, and John Anchorberg.
"Roman Catholics and Protestant Evangelicals come together but can they Agree That Faith is a Gift by Gods Grace and Works are a Fruit of the Gift and not that Works Keep or Add to the Gift.
Article Below on this subject
Catholic theologians uphold the principle of salvation on the basis of Gods grace but what do they mean? The phrase by Gods grace is critical. The Roman Catholic sees Gods grace everywhere, and so inflates the concept of grace as to make it meaningless! It is well documented that Gods grace can be construed by Rome as God allowing us to suffer for our own sins! Incredibly, Rome says we must, by the grace of God, discharge the debt of sin by suffering! Trent is straight forward.
If anyone says that after the reception of the grace of justification the guilt is so remitted and the debt of eternal punishment so blotted out to every repentant sinner, that no debt of temporal punishment remains to be discharged either in this world or in purgatory before the gates of heaven can be opened, let him be anathema. Trent, Sixth session, January, 1547.
Taken from The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent, by H.J. Schroeder, pgs. 41-46."
