'''''Ex opere operato''''' is a [[Latin]] term literally meaning "from the work performed". This refers to the grace infallibly effected by the proper performance of the [[sacrament]]s as ordained by God, and established by [[Jesus Christ|Christ]] as efficient causes of infused divine [[grace]] in and of themselves, independent of the worth or goodwill of the person administering the sacrament. An example is the [[sign]] of the washing of "regenerative baptism" (including pedobaptism) which "saves you now" (Ephesians 5:25-27; John 3:3-5; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 3:21).

'''''Ex opere operantis''''' is a Latin term literally meaning "from the work of the doer". This refers to the grace or blessing of God determined solely by the [[faith]] and [[love]] of God exercised by the person, such as believing God as an act of [[righteousness]], and as the fruit of righteousness by faith doing works of faith. An example is the [[symbol]]ic [[ordinance]] of "believers' baptism" (credobaptism), "For by grace you have been saved through faith...not of works, lest any man should boast". (Romans 3:21-30; Acts 2:38; 8:37; Ephesians 2:4-10; James 2:14-26).
