ISB ~ Matthew 7 v22

On that day:The Day of Judgment. Jesus is portrayed as the divine Judge (cf. 25:31-46; Jn 5:25-29; 2 Cor 5:10; CCC 678, 682).

• God’s sanctifying grace enlivens the soul, making it fit for heaven; it is the grace of divine Sonship. It is manifested through conformity with the Father’s will by knowing and obeying Jesus (7:23; cf. Jn 17:3; 1 Jn 2:36). In Catholic tradition, sanctifying grace is distinct from graces that are manifest through miraculous works such as prophecy and exorcism. These charismatic graces are also heavenly gifts but are not conclusive evidence of one’s personal sanctity or membership in the family of God (CCC 2003).
