entitled to the same full faith and credit as any other judgment. Delahanty v. First Pennsylvania Bk., N.A., 318 Pa. Super. 90, 139-40, 464 A.2d 1243 (1983); Schlossberg v. Citizens Bank, 341 Md. 650, 655, 672 A.2d 625 (1996). Although a judgment by confession is subject to being, vacated, opened, or modified, it is essentially a final judgment entitled to recognition the same as other judgments. Boyce v. Plitt, 274 Md. 333, 335 A.2d 101 (1975). Pennsylvania has consistently noted that a meaningful difference exists between a confessed judgment which is opened and a confessed judgment which is stricken. Under longstanding Pennsylvania law, an opened confession of judgment remains a judgment until it is tried on its merits. Adams v. James L. Leeds Co., 189 Pa. 544, 547, 42 A. 195 (1899) (<HOLDING>); Markofski et ux. v. Yanks, 297 Pa. 74, 78,
