Hi everyone,
I need to pick the brain of the members of the uber-smart Puritanboard regarding Union with Christ and Faith. I have been studying Shorter Catechism Q. 30.
I am a little fuzzy about whether the Shorter Catechism is making any claims about the order of faith being worked in us and our being united to Christ. Is the Catechism stating that faith being worked in us thereby unites us to Christ? Is it stating that Faith comes first -> Union with Christ.
What do you all think?

Q.30 How doth the Spirit apply to us the redemption purchased by Christ?
A: The Spirit applieth to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, (Eph. 1:13–14, John 6:37–39, Eph. 2:8) and thereby uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling. (Eph. 3:17, 1 Cor. 1:9)
