Joe, "Do Catholics hold that grace (any kind) was conferred in the OT sacrifices for the believer? If so, what is the nature of that grace. Thanks!" Yours is a good question. I can't give an authoritative answer except to say in agreement with you that they (the Old Testament sacrifices) did not justify. Beyond that I would not venture with any certainty. The blood on the door posts and lintels at Passover certainly effected a temporal salvation at the very least and the other sacrifices may have confered some kind of grace, but not justifying grace. And of course you know that I believe Baptism ( "by water and the Holy Spirit")not plain ole "water baptism" that so many here like to disect from the Holy Spirit, does confer justifying and sanctifying grace because it is Christ who baptizes in the sacrament and it is into His death and resurrection that we are baptised. But that difference between us is a given as we all know. Emmaus |

Thank you Stephanie, I certainly find that a healthy mutual respect is helpful if one hopes to generate more light than heat in these discussions. Good night. Emmaus |
