Justifying faith actually justifies — not mere remote preparation

Justifying faith ≠ any mere preparation for justification (near or remote).

It actually justifies — or justification always and infallibly goes with it.

Saving faith = what truly places a man in grace and salvation.

Latin

V. Et hinc apparet Protestantes per fidem justificantem non intelligere eam quae quocunque modo praeparat ad justificationem, sive proxime, sive remote; sed quae hominem reapse justificat, aut quam semper & infallibiliter comitatur justificatio. Et similiter non aliam fidem salvificam nominant, quam quae revera hominem in statu gratiae & salutis constituit.
