Q193. But you said just now that this faith is distinguished from the kind that doesn't lead to salvation, both by how it comes and by how it works. So what exactly does it do?
It causes the soul to see, by its own light, that there is no righteousness anywhere in this world capable of saving a sinner.
Scripture Proofs — King James Version

Isaiah 64:6
“But we are all as an unclean , and all our righteousnesses as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
