The ECT Accord (Evangelicals and Catholics Together) of 1994 called for the setting aside of doctrinal differences between Roman Catholic and Evangelical churches and appealed for unity in the fight against the rapid secularization and moral decline engulfing our culture. The appeal was made by writers who believe we all share a common faith. But to what extent do Evangelicals and Roman Catholics share a common faith? In fact, do we even share a common understanding of the gospel message? In this book, Mr. Webster, a former Roman Catholic himself, documents the official teaching of saving faith from the authoritative Roman Catholic sources. From the back cover: In November 1997, the ECT Accord was reformulated. It was represented to both Protestant and Roman Catholic communions under the title, The Gift of Salvation, popularly coined ECT 2. Again, the appeal was for unity based on a shared faith and a common gospel message. The problem, however, is one of definition and interpretation. Do we really have a biblical unity on which to base such an appeal? When Rome states that an individual is saved by faith, what does she mean? In this book, Mr. Webster, a former Roman Catholic, documents the official teaching of saving faith from the authoritative Roman Catholic sources. In a time of great confusion over what the Roman Catholic Church officially teaches, this book helps to clarify the issues. It provides extensive documentation from The Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma by Ludwig Ott, The Council of Trent, Vatican I, Vatican II, The Code of Canon Law, The Question and Answer Catholic Catechism, and The Catechism of the Catholic Church.
