What does it mean to have righteousness imputed?

Answered in 1 source

It means that Christ's righteousness is credited to believers, making them right before God (Romans 4:23-25).

The concept of imputed righteousness signifies that the perfect righteousness of Christ is credited to our account upon believing in Him. Romans 4:23-25 explains that 'it was not written for his sake alone, but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on Him.' This means that through faith, we can experience the full justification because Christ’s righteousness fulfills the demands of the law that we could never meet. This assures believers that their standing before God is secure because it relies not on personal merit but on the finished work of Christ.
