And your preference of what legalism means suits your argument, that's all. But you're the only one who holds that definition. Definitions are not dependent upon the view of the speaker, you know.
You have to align your definitions up with what a theological dictionary says. When words lose all meaning, communication is impossible.

i think your insistence that "legal" must refer to salvation by works is a chimera, and if any reader here does not grasp my use of the word then they can ask for clarification. I am currently at least conflating "legal" with "legality, requirement, law."
