 …and imputed (or alien) righteousness.

From A Learned Discourse of Justification, Works, and how the Foundation of Faith is Overthrown:

There is a glorifying righteousness of men in the world to come; and there is a justifying and a sanctifying righteousness here. The righteousness wherewith we shall be clothed in the world to come is both perfect and inherent. That whereby we are justified is perfect, but not inherent. That whereby we are sanctified, inherent, but not perfect.
