I believe Don Fortner is absolutely correct.A writer Don Fortner who commented on the four aspects of Justification wrote as to being justified by the Divine Decree:
Divine Decree
First, God’s elect were justified by the decree of God the Father in eternity. In the mind and purpose of God all his elect were justified from eternity. Our justification was actually accomplished by God’s sovereign purpose of grace in eternal predestination before the worlds were made. This is not a matter of speculation or a hair-splitting theological precision. It is a matter of unmistakable revelation. Read it for yourself in the Book of God. Romans 8:30 declares that God justified his elect when he chose them and predestinated them to be conformed to the image of his dear Son before the worlds were made.
Our justification did not commence in time, but in eternity. Paul, speaking of God’s eternal decree of predestination, declares that all of God’s elect were justified in his eternal purpose of grace. — “The works were finished from the foundation of the world” (Hebrews 4:3).
“For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” (Romans 8:29-30)
Amen Sister !I believe Don Fortner is absolutely correct.
There was from all eternity a fixed immutable will in God never to punish sin, nor to inflict the penalty of the Law upon his elect. This will was not to prosecute his right against them in a way of justice, {I Thes.5:9,} but to deal with them as righteous in a Mediator, {a pure act of grace,} by free imputation. {II Cor.5:21, Rom.5:21, Eph.1:4} God from all eternity did immutably will and bequeath eternal life to his chosen in Christ, through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant. {Mt.26:28} “By 2 the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” {Heb.10:10}
Agree wholeheartedly !The above quote by unknown author speaks to eternal justification based upon the eternal suretyship of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Yet more errorIf Justification is before Faith by the death of Christ, , why not as soon as Christ became Surety of the Elect ? When did Christ become Surety, because we know that He was according to Heb 7:22
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
When was Christ made a surety ?Yet more error
Galatians 2:16 (ESV)
16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

Don't run from the verseWhen was Christ made a surety ?
False !Don't run from the verse

Justification is not before faith
Amen very well stated !Amen Brother ! Christ Jesus as Surety Heb. 7:22; Rev. 13:8, agreed with the Father in the Everlasting Covenant of Grace Heb. 2:16-17, to take upon Himself the sin debt of all His Sheep or God's Elect chosen in Him of the Father to have forgiveness of sins Eph. 1:4-7; and so abjuring them to be righteous based solely upon the principal or ground work of Christ's Blood Rom. 5:9. Hence rendering them to be Righteous / Justified according to God's Law and Justice even from Everlasting !
Rom. 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son,
much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Heb. 13:20-21
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
