According to the
Baltimore Catechism... (emphasis added)
"Faith is
a Divine virtue by which we firmly believe the truths which God has revealed."
"Hope is a
Divine virtue by which we firmly trust that God will give us eternal life and
the means to obtain it."
"Charity
is a Divine virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and
our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God."
And...
"Faith, Hope and
Charity are called virtues because they are not merely acts, but habits by which
we always and in all things believe God, hope in Him, and love Him."
"Faith, Hope and
Charity are called infused theological virtues to distinguish them from the four
moral virtues - Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance."
