Not long after this, I began to notice discrepancies between Catholic apologists’ map of the tradition and the terrain I encountered in the tradition itself. St. Ambrose’s doctrine of justification sounded a great deal more like Luther’s sola fide than like Trent.
But to assert 'sola fide' - as defined by the Lutheran version of how we understand it - as something taught by Augustine or Ambrose or any other church father until Martin Luther's innovation, is patently and demonstrable false.
Only by taking a sentence here and sentence there can one try to make that argument.
