'''Solus Christus''', sometimes referred to in the
ablative case as 'Solo Christo', is one of the
five solas propounded to summarise the Reformers' basic beliefs during the
Protestant Reformation; it is a
Latin term referring to
salvation through '
Christ alone'. The emphasis was in contradistinction to the teaching of the
Roman Catholic Church of the day.
The Protestants characterize the dogma concerning the Pope as Christ's representative head of the Church on earth, the concept of meritorious works, and the Catholic idea of a treasury of the merits of saints, as a denial that Christ is the only mediator between God and man.
