Justification by Works - Anathematized

The Catholic Church taught at the Council Trent that one cannot be justified by his own works - either through works pertaining to simple morality or by those works pertaining only to the Mosaic Covenant.

CANON I.-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.

- Council of Trent, Session 6, Canon I
