The doctrine teaching of justification by faith plus works is the teaching that a person is saved by the grace of God through both his faith and good works and also faith in Jesus Christ's atoning death. This is taught in the [[Roman Catholicism|Roman Catholic, ]] and [[Eastern Orthodoxy|Eastern Orthodox ]] Churches. This issue was one of the main issues causing the [[Reformation]]. Protestant churches today teach that a person is saved by faith in Christ alone. ===Arguments for and against===

'''Quotes from the [[Council of Trent]]'''
: Canon 1
::If any one saith, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human nature, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema.
: Canon 11
:: If anyone says that men are justified either by the sole imputation of the justice of Christ or by the sole remission of sins, excluding grace and charity which is poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit and inheres in them, or also that the grace which justifies us is only the favour of God, let him be anathema.
