Athanasian Creed (Worcester) n. 40

40. That is called saving faith, which is from confidence that the Father loves for the sake of the Son; but by this no one is saved. The Father never hears you, but the Lord; and by this faith no one is saved. They pass the Lord by, and pray to the Father; which is altogether contrary to the Lord's commandment; and besides, no one hath seen the Father, nor heard His voice.
