Here is Trent immediately after the section where preparation is described:
.
Note the council does not say that justification *may* follow preparation, it says that it *does* follow the preparation just described.

The follow up would be the sacrament of baptism which gives the supernatural faith (the instrumental cause).
The Catholic Faith = the the supernatural faith.
That's why Catechumens are called 'Catechumens' and not 'the faithful'. Also why we have 'mass of the catechumens' and "mass of the faithful'. Only those baptised are given the supernatural faith.
