CANON IX.-If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co-operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema.
The Council of Trent, in its decree on justification, is very clear that one must be properly disposed in order to be justified. This would apply to both baptism and BOD.
.
Prior to the above canon, Trent explains what it means to be properly disposed:
.
CHAPTER VI.
The manner of Preparation.
Now they (adults) are disposed unto the said justice, when,
.
1. [Belief in Christ and the Trinity and knowledge of baptism] excited and assisted by divine grace, conceiving faith by hearing, they are freely moved towards God, believing those things to be true which God has revealed and promised, -and this especially, that God justifies the impious by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;
.
2. [contrition for sins] and when, understanding themselves to be sinners, they, by turning themselves, from the fear of divine justice whereby they are profitably agitated, to consider the mercy of God, are raised unto hope, confiding that God will be propitious to them for Christ's sake; and they begin to love Him as the fountain of all justice; and are therefore moved against sins by a certain hatred and detestation, to wit, by that penitence which must be performed before baptism:
.
3. [vow/promise to receive baptism and amendment of life] lastly, when they purpose to receive baptism, to begin a new life, and to keep the commandments of God. Concerning this disposition it is written; He that cometh to God, must believe that He is, and is a rewarder to them that seek Him; and, Be of good faith, son, thy sins are forgiven thee; and, The fear of the Lord driveth out sin; and, Do penance, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost; and, Going, therefore, teach ye all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; finally, Prepare your hearts unto the Lord.
Comment: Notice that the underlined text above, about God being a "rewarder" to them that seek Him, that sounds awfully similar to the modernist heresy of the "rewarder God". It seems the modernists pulled out this phrase from Trent and tried to explain how "implicit faith" can save. But they ignore all of the other conditions, and the
proper disposition required, in order for one to be justified. Salvation by a "rewarder God", when ignoring all the other requirements, makes a mockery of the Catholic Faith.
