The apostle Peter teaches baptism saves us; yet it is not as an opus operatum that it saves, but as the answer of a good conscience. Calvin's remarks should be understood in the same sense. When we consider what baptism seals to the believer, Calvin's language faithfully represents the biblical teaching.
