This thread isn't the place, but I'd love to hear more about the RC perspective on this, and how and where it differs from the Protestant position
(imputation/infusion).
I have one quick question right now though
(if you don't mind), if the RCC teaches that the imputation of Christ's righteousness to us doesn't get the job done
(so to speak), what do you guys do about the all-important flip-side of the equation
I know that along with us Protestants, Catholics also believe that to be saved, our sins must be credited/imputed to Jesus' account such that He is made/declared to be sin for us
(because we both agree that He never becomes an actual sinner by the infusion of our sins). So, since you guys believe that imputation gets the job done on the one hand
(our sins being credited/imputed to Jesus' account), then why does the RCC teach that it doesn't it work on the other hand too
(Jesus' righteousness being credited/imputed to our accounts)
Thanks!

p.s. - sorry for the thread drift
@Guojing, I promise that I won't let it continue for more than a post or two more.
2 Corinthians 5
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
