Is Salvation an Act or a Process?

When exploring the diverse perspectives on salvation within Christianity, I recently came across an enlightening article that delves into the Catholic view on this profound topic. Titled "Is Salvation an Act or a Process?" by Kenneth J. Howell, the article addresses common misconceptions about Catholic doctrine, particularly the belief that Catholics earn their way to heaven through good works. This misunderstanding often frustrates Catholics who understand that their faith teaches salvation by grace through faith in Christ. Howell's article provides a thoughtful dialogue that clarifies how Catholics perceive salvation as a lifelong journey of faith and cooperation with God's grace.
