justification by faith
The Council of Trent affirmed that faith and good works are both necessary for salvation. This differed from the views of Luther and Calvin, who believed in justification by faith alone, without the need for good works. Luther and Calvin emphasized faith as the sole means of salvation, rejecting the idea that good works played a role in justification.

The Council of Trent affirmed traditional Catholic teachings on salvation. It stressed the importance of both faith and good works for salvation, rejected the idea of salvation by faith alone, and emphasized the sacraments as channels of God's grace. It condemned the beliefs of Protestant reformers on justification by faith alone.
St. Paul teaches that justification comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through observance of the Jewish law. He emphasizes that faith in Jesus is what brings righteousness before God, and that this faith leads to a transformed life guided by the Holy Spirit.
