Justification
How does a guilty sinner stand righteous before God — declared so, or remade?
Justification is the act by which God sets a sinner right with himself, drawing especially on Paul's letters to the Romans and Galatians. Here lies a core Reformation dispute. The Reformers, following Luther, held it to be a forensic declaration — God pronounces the sinner righteous through faith. Catholics, at the Council of Trent, taught a transforming, righteousness-making grace. The 1999 Joint Declaration narrowed but did not erase this difference.
