The Catholic teaching on the concept of faith and works, otherwise known as justification, is one of more misunderstood of our religion. Do we earn our salvation? Does God grant it to us without us doing anything? Once saved, are we always? In this episode of The Catholic Mama podcast, my husband Pat and I tackle these questions and offer a faith challenge to kickstart and deepen listeners’ understanding of faith and works.
