The study examines the doctrine of salvation from the perspectives of the Catholic and Protestant Churches through a theological-comparative analysis grounded in Scripture, tradition, and the historical development of theology. Employing a qualitative, library-based research approach, it highlights both the fundamental differences and the points of convergence between the two traditions, particularly concerning the relationship among faith, grace, and works in the process of salvation. Catholic theology emphasizes salvation as a participatory process involving divine grace, human freedom, and mediation through the sacraments and the life of the Church. In contrast, Protestant theology, especially within the Reformation tradition, affirms the principles of sola gratia and sola fide, understanding salvation as a gift of God received through faith apart from human effort. Despite differing theological emphases, both traditions acknowledge that salvation originates from the initiative of God’s love in Christ. The study demonstrates that ecumenical dialogue fosters a more integrative understanding and contributes to a more holistic interpretation of salvation within contemporary Christianity.
