I believe everything the Church teaches. Including BOD, and that denying it is a mortal sin. As I posted in a thread before.
I made up the phrase, but the concept is contained in Trent (and also St Thomas) in the 6th Session on Justification. Trent talks about a sinner recognizing he has sinned (on a natural level) and then God gives him graces to be imperfectly sorry for his offenses, due to God's goodness. This preparation is essential for baptism and it happens BEFORE justification and BEFORE the reception of the sacrament.

Ah, if it's in preparation for justification and happened "BEFORE justification," it's not justification, but a precedent to justification. I hightlighted your own response with the caps in "BEFORE" for emphasis. Did you not get your own emphasis? Good grief, if it happens before justification, it's not justification. Come on, Pax. Do you even think before typing?
Do you believe Christs's words in John 3:5?
Do you believe St Alphonsus of Liguori didn't read John 3:5 and St Pius X didn't read John 3:5?
I said I made up the term. But the concept is the same. If you can't understand what Trent is saying, it's not my fault.
