Yet they admit an infused permanent supernatural power

Thesis XLI. But if habitual grace is taken to mean a supernatural power given to the will so that it can believe and act well, they declare that they gladly accept it.

So it is clear that, although they deny habitual grace, they still acknowledge a permanent quality and supernatural power infused by grace. That comes to almost the same thing and differs little or not at all from the view of those who speak differently.

Latin

XLI. Si vero per gratiam habitualem intelligere libeat potentiam quandam supernaturalem concessam voluntati ad hoc ut credere & bene agere possit, profitentur eam se lubentes admittere. Unde patet eos, licet gratiam habitualem negent, agnoscere tamen quandam qualitatem permanentem, & potentiam supernaturalem quae per gratiam infusa sit. Quod eodem fere recidit, & a sententia eorum qui aliter loquuntur, parum aut nihil differt.
