I think the point is that we need to be careful how we speak of Adam's eschatological glorification as a "justification." Sometimes, this seems to smudge into the idea that Adam had to become righteous, when he already was righteous. Degrading from "righteous" descriptions of Adam, to "innocent" descriptions makes me worry if there is a hidden or even unthinking agenda. I’m not sure if I can explain the difference in content.

It doesn't make sense to me; since sin has the aspects of both commission and omission, then someone who is entirely without sin must have actively positive qualities (i.e., the opposite of sins of omission) -- how can that be distinguished from righteousness?
