The real question: what 'grace' means in the texts on salvation

Thesis XLVIII. The only point in question is this. In the passages of scripture that say we are saved and justified by God's grace, does grace mean God's external favour and goodwill, or some grace that inheres in us, whether actual or habitual?

The Reformed school affirms the first, the Roman school the second.

Latin

XLVIII. Id vero solum in quaestione est, An in illis scripturae locis ubi dicimur per Dei gratiam servari & justificari, gratia significet externum Dei favorem & benevolentiam: an vero gratiam aliquam quae nobis inhaereat, seu actualis illa sit, sive habitualis. Prius affirmat Schola Reformata, posterius Romana.
