Justification solely by the death of Christ !
That those Christ died for are Justified solely upon Christ's Act alone, apart from any of their own, is taught in Rom 5:18b
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Notice the antithesis of Rom 5:18a which is stated thusly:
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation;
This plainly tells us, that Judgment to condemnation landed upon all men solely by the offence of One, that one being Adam.
The words came upon means resulted in , the sole act of Adam, resulted in all men [in him] Judgment to condemnation, they did nothing personally in themselves for the condemnation, in fact they had not even personal existed !
So, the same is even so in the antithesis, by the Righteousness of One, Meaning His[Christs] Active and Passive Obedience, as a Free Gift, Justification of Life came upon all men [in Him] and again the words came upon means resulted in, the sole Act of Christ resulted in all men [In Him] Justification of Life, they did personally nothing of themselves for this Free Gift, in fact they had not even personally existed.
Notice its called a Free Gift !! Thats because it " Justification of Life" was freely charged to their account in Heaven, freely imputed to their account in the record law books of Gods Law and Justice.
Its not a free gift in the corrupt sense that the false teachers make it, that its offered to you as a gift and now its up to you to receive it, that is a lie, for it was no more an offering for one to accept or reject as it was a offer you could accept or reject when , because of Adams One Act, it resulted in Judgment unto condemnation !
So Rom 5:18b validates that those Christ lived and died for, it resulted in their Justification apart from any thing they did, even apart from their believing !
