Is it proper in Reformed Theology and more important Biblical faith to refer to imputed righteousness when speaking of justification and imparted righteousness when referring to sanctification? Seems like if we get justification backwards as imparted we can get works righteousness and if we get sanctification backwards as imputed we can get antinomianism. Any Reformed works that you recommend on these important distinctions? Thank you! Matthew
 
Yes that is correct.
Michael Horton's works, especially his 2 volume Justification is especially helpful on this.
 
Turretin used that distinction in his section on Justification. Imputed righteousness for justification, imparted for sanctification. So long as you keep the categories clear and distinct, you are fine. Blur them and you go back to Rome.
