229: Can Catholics and Evangelicals Agree on How We’re Saved? (w/ Dr. Matthew J. Thomas) 2023-12-07T23:05:14-04:00 K. Albert Little

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I’m joined by Dr. Matthew J. Thomas to talk about justification, salvation, and whether or not Evangelicals and Catholics can agree on how we’re saved.

This is a wonderful topic and one of the bread-and-butter type conversations on this podcast: unpacking what both Catholics and Evangelicals believe about how we’re saved and trying to come up with some agreement.

Dr. Thomas explains how the definition of words like “justification,” “works,” and “salvation” can often be misused and misunderstood across different groups and that being clear with our language, looking for similarities, and working through differences is how we can better understand what divided and shockingly still divides Protestant Christianity from Catholic and Orthodox believers.
