Thats what it means, God must declare one righteous before they are righteous in their own consiousess.
The church, the elect, had been declared righteous by God before the world began, because of Christ righteousness being imputed to it.
Before the world began, Two imputations took place, one The imputation of the elect's sins unto Jesus Christ, and two, the Imputation of His righteousness unto the elect.
I wish God's word said "God declared Abraham righteous, and therefore Abraham believed God."
