The Reformation "stands or falls" on a strong belief in the strong form of the justification doctrine: That we are justified by imputation alone; that imputation is by faith alone; that our faith is God's work alone; that righteousness is not imparted, only imputed; that we sin always (simul iustus et peccator); that getting saved and staying saved are unconditional; that what's crucial is belief, not behavior. "This" is the good news, now long forgotten, of the Early Reformers.
