Bob DeWaay has some interesting stuff on the subject:
Synergism
The technical name of this theology is “synergism.” Those who teach synergism believe that salvation is a cooperative effort between God and man.
In my last article I discussed this and cited the Roman Catholic Council of Trent which teaches synergism.
Here is another citation of Trent from the Canons on Justification:
“If any one shall affirm, that man’s freewill, moved and excited by God, does not, by consenting, cooperate with God, the mover and exciter, so as to prepare and dispose itself for the attainment of justification; if moreover, anyone shall say, that the human will cannot refuse complying, if it pleases, but that it is inactive, and merely passive; let such an one be accursed.” 6
