This is false because it is directly opposed to the declaration of Paul, "[Blessed is] the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works" (Romans 4:6). Paul's reason is that we receive both salvation and righteousness in one and the same way. In fact, when we are justified through faith, we receive adoption at the same time and are made heirs of eternal life and salvation. For this reason Paul uses and emphasizes the exclusive terms, that is, those words by which works and our own merits are entirely excluded. He uses "by grace," "apart from works," as forcibly in the article about salvation as in the article about righteousness. (SD III 53)
