Cap. III Sol. Rat. 10 close: not Predestinati — works profit; Father prepares repentance
So the Predestinarian heresy is nothing to us — we teach outright that works of piety profit toward obtaining glory, and that crimes block even the predestinated so that, unless cast off by repentance and newness of life, they cannot reach the kingdom of glory. Yet the same heavenly Father who gratuitously destined them glory has also infallibly prepared for them that repentance and newness of life.
Latin
Praedestinatorum igitur haeresis nihil ad nos, qui pleno ore docemus opera pietatis prodesse ad consecutionem gloriae; Flagitia etiam praedestinatis ipsis ita obstare, ut nisi per poenitentiam et vitae novitatem abjicerentur, non possent ad regnum gloriae pervenire. Sed idem caelestis Pater, qui gratuito illis gloriam destinavit, hanc poenitentiam et vitae novitatem infallibiliter etiam iisdem praeparavit.
