Justification An important concept in Christianity. For Protestant Reformers, justification refers to sinful human beings being saved by God’s grace alone. The phrase “justification through faith” more completely means “justification by grace through faith.” The Catholic interpretation of justification stresses a total conversion of the sinner who comes to receive sanctifying grace, this being conferred or increased by the sacraments of the Catholic Church. Some Protestants and fundamentalists regard most of the Catholic sacraments as human fabrications, possibly leaning towards superstition, magic, paganism and the devil. For Catholics, however, the Protestant notion that one may be certain of one’s salvation is misguided and heretical. » Calvin (John), Calvinism, Luther (Martin), Protestantism
