Editing Sola fide (section)

===Evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics===
{{blockquote|The New Testament makes it clear that the gift of salvation is received through faith. "By grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8). By faith, which is also the gift of God, we repent of our sins and freely adhere to the gospel, the good news of God's saving work for us in Christ. By our response of faith to Christ, we enter into the blessings promised by the gospel. Faith is not merely intellectual assent but an act of the whole persons involving the mind, the will, and the affections, issuing in a changed life. We understand that what we here affirm is in agreement with what the Reformation traditions have meant by justification by faith alone (''sola fide'').|''The Gift of Salvation'' (1997)<ref>First Things[https://www.firstthings.com/article/1998/01/001-the-gift-of-salvation]</ref>}}
