Yes indeed, it was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began !

This was and is collaborated in the OT scriptures Isa 53:11
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Now the Righteous servant here is Christ, and He shall bear the inquity of many, which corresponds with His Obedience of One in Rom 5:19b, and by that He shall Justify many, the word Justify here means also:to declare righteous.
As a result of the anguish of His soul, He shall see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge [of what He has accomplished] the Righteous One, My Servant, shall justify the many [making them righteous—upright before God, in right standing with Him], For He shall bear [the responsibility for] their sins.AMP
Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
The simple fact that He bare their sins results in them being accounted Righteous.
Now what the false teachers attempt to do is to take the credit away from Christ, and His One sole Obedience unto death Phil 2:8 being that which Justifies us before God, but will instead give the credit to mans obedience, his faith and or repentance, which depreciates the priceless Justifying Value of Christ's Blood, and praises the value of mans obedience, to which they attribute Justification before God, which is antichrist to say the least !
Perfectly stated!
Christ's Blood alone Justified all His Sheep He died for John 10:11,15,
Chosen In Union with Him before the foundation of the world Eph. 1:4-5.
But non-sheep, reprobates attempt to claim for themselves what was never intended for them
by adding their own works of the flesh, such as placing their own faith/belief in Christ's Blood.
That's antichrist indeed, even blasphemy, the religion of Lucifer Is. 14:12-14!
For it was God's Sovereign Will in Election which decided who would be Saved by the Blood of Christ:
His Vessels of Mercy Rom. 9:23, the only portion of humanity Given Grace before the world began 2 Tim. 1:9!
Eph. 2:8-9
v.8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
v.9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

"Purge your conscience from dead works." This is one of the effects produced by Christ’s sacrifice, an effect which the legal ordinances were incapable of securing. Because Christ’s sacrifice has expiated our sins, when the Spirit applies its virtues to the heart, that is, when He gives faith to appropriate them, our sense of guilt is removed, peace is communicated, and we are enabled to approach God not only without dread, but as joyous worshippers. The "conscience" is here specially singled out (cf. Hebrews 10:22 for the larger meaning) because it is the proper seat of the guilt of sin, charging it on the soul, and hindering an approach unto God. By "dead works" are meant our sins as unto their guilt and defilement—cf. our comments on Hebrews 6:1. True believers are delivered from the curse of the law, which is death.
Theres no real difference in papal salvation, and arminian, freewill salvation, and the calvinist faith salvation, for all three of these false teachings do deny the Saving Efficacy of Christ's Death alone to Justify before God all for whom He died. The differences they do have do not abort their confederacy in this evil . The papacy says good works must be done by man in order for Christ's death to save them or Justify them before God, the arminian says mans freewill acceptance must be performed, and the subtle calvinist says the act of ones faith or believing is required, without believing, man, even those Christ died for, cannot be Justified before God; So they all press a requirement of something to be done by man for Salvation and or Justification, in addition to the Blood of Christ, and if men don't comply, he is not saved or Justified by the Blood of Christ, which of course denies the satisfactoriness of the Blood of Christ alone to Justify before God those it was shed for, so in essence they deny that anyone is ever Justified before God by Christ's Blood alone, which contradicts Rom 5:9 !
Very well said! The pride of man requires some work / performance
of the flesh they do to contribute to their Salvation / Justification.
It's not by their own faith or believing in the Blood of Christ
that Justifies, but is solely by and through the Blood of Christ alone
for all those His Death was for John 10:11,15.
Rom. 3:24
Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus

Matt 7:23
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
If the Lord Jesus Christ here was speaking to some He Loved and layed down His Life for, His Friends Jn 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
His Sheep Jn 10:15
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
When He said them "I never knew you"
It would appear that He lied to them by saying that to them, since those He died for He bought with a price, and they were not their own 1 Cor 6:20
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
That price being His Blood 1 Pet 1:18-19
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Now either He outright lied, or He was ignorant in knowing everyone He Loved and died for, and everyone He bought with a price, which price was His Own Blood, Or He did not know them because He never did buy them with His Blood, which means He neither Loved them nor died for them, which is the correct understanding !
Amen! They are the reprobates of humanity, the cursed goats Mat. 25:33, 41,
and "the people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever" Mal. 1:4;
the tares, the sons of the devil which he sowed into the world Mat. 13:38-39.
