Theological Theses · §1350

Satisfaction must be applied: adults receive fruit only by true repentance and living faith

Satisfaction alone does not equal remitted sins until applied under God’s institution.

For reasoning adults: true repentance plus living, love-working faith mediate the fruit.

Latin

V. Nec tamen, etiam posita Christi satisfactione, electorum ulli peccata remissa dici possunt, nisi fuerit ipsis secundum Dei legem & institutum applicata. Adultis autem usum rationis habentibus non applicatur Christi meritum & satisfactio, id est, fructum ex Christi merito non percipiunt nisi, mediante vera poenitentia, ac fide viva & per dilectionem efficaci.
