I was curious if anyone could spell out to me the general understanding of the sotierological views of the Orthodox? I've heard that you guys are similar to Roman Catholicism in your views on justification, but you incorporate theosis, whereas they do not, is that correct?

Can anyone elaborate on the E.O. view of Justification (either quickly or elaborately) to help a Protestant better understand your faith? Thanks!

Nothing of substance that I can add to those two articles.

Justification = being made just

How are we made just? By putting on the Lord Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:27)... in his divine-human Person... and being conformed to the image of the Son of God (Ro. 8:29)...
