How does faith relate to imputation?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is the means by which believers partake of the righteousness imputed to them through Christ's sacrifice.

While imputation is not based on faith itself, faith plays a critical role in a believer’s salvation. It is through faith that individuals acknowledge Christ's completed work and accept the imputed righteousness offered to them by God. Specifically, faith serves as the channel through which believers consume the truth of Christ’s sacrifice and righteousness. As Romans 5:1 notes, we are justified by faith, which grants us peace with God. Therefore, faith is not the foundation of imputation; rather, it is the active response to the grace received through Christ that allows believers to participate in and enjoy the benefits of that imputed righteousness.
