Antinomian
an·ti·no·mi·an·ism (ăn′tĭ-nō′mē-ə-nĭz′əm)
noun.
1. in christianity the doctrine or belief that the gospel frees Christians from required obedience to any law, whether scriptural, civil, or moral, and that salvation is attained solely through faith and the gift of divine grace.


Emphasis added.

Some people even take it so far as to reject the rules of civil discourse and honest debate.

(Upon edit, for further edification): Or even celebrate the actions of those who openly reject the rules (edicts?) of the RCC, and help their fellow human beings in conditions of distress. So that, in their own diminutive act of celebrated heresy, they may exclaim "'what-about-those' purported good act(s) in the defiance of the RCC?". All in a sad, and ultimately futile, attempt to score some mythological (magical? grace?) points.

Just sayin'
