## Resource

Do Roman Catholics really believe in salvation by faith? In this episode, Jon Moffitt interacts with a video from Father Mike Schmitz on faith, works, and grace. You will see why definitions matter when it comes to salvation and how different traditions understand faith and justification. This conversation walks through key passages and historical teaching to clarify where agreements and differences exist. The goal is to help you clearly distinguish between the Protestant view of justification and what the Roman Catholic Church has traditionally taught. If you want a deeper understanding of faith, grace, and works, this episode will help.
