mLine 118:
Line 118: − − The [[Catechism of the Catholic Church]] (CCC) clarifies the actual meanings of '''Justification, Grace, Merit''' and '''Christian Holiness''', by emphasizing that each of these, and all of them taken together, is solely a result of the free and unmerited gift of God, and not a "doctrine of salvation by works alone".<ref>[http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a2.htm Catechism of the Catholic Church, Part III, Section One, Chapter Three, article 2, numbers 1987-2029].</ref> "The merit of man before God in the Christian life arises from the fact that ''God has freely chosen to associate man with the work of his grace''. The fatherly action of God is ''first'' on his own initiative, and then follows man's free acting through his collaboration, so that ''the merit of good works is to be attributed in the first place to the grace of God'', then to the faithful. Man's merit, moreover, itself is due to God, for his good actions proceed in Christ, from the predispositions and assistance given by the Holy Spirit.<ref>CCC 2008</ref>
