32 - Faith, Works, and Justification

How are we saved? Through faith, works, or both? What is grace? Can I earn grace or is it just a free gift from God?

This episode covers Part Three, Section One, Chapter Three of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (pts 1949-2055). ⁠Donate via PayPal⁠:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6WSCLFHLCDXH2 Support us on ⁠Patreon⁠!
