Narrative:
Ceilings were sufficient for CAT I approach; but very close to minimums. On final; approach and tower issued wake turbulence advisory for heavy airbus in front of us (6-7 miles) per TCAS. As first officer pilot flying approach was stable (autopilot engaged). Approach light system was acquired just above minimums; and then runway/markings/lighting was acquired prior to 100 feet per fom. I stated 'continue' instead of 'landing' due to lights vs runway contrary to the fom; creating a challenge from pm (ca) to confirm my intentions. Past the threshold (below 50 feet); the aircraft began to roll and was pushed slightly left of centerline due to wake turbulence. I rolled the aircraft back and attempted to correct back to centerline. I accepted a landing slightly left of centerline and the landing rollout was uneventful. After landing; ACARS data reflected a 5.0 degree bank on landing (maximum 7.5). In hindsight; a go-around would have been a better choice.

Title: B737NG flight crew reported continuing to landing after an uncommanded nose up and roll was observed on short final.
Narrative: Ceilings were sufficient for CAT I approach; but very close to minimums. On final; Approach and Tower issued wake turbulence advisory for heavy Airbus in front of us (6-7 miles) per TCAS. As First Officer Pilot Flying approach was stable (autopilot engaged). Approach light system was acquired just above minimums; and then runway/markings/lighting was acquired prior to 100 feet per FOM. I stated 'Continue' instead of 'landing' due to lights vs runway contrary to the FOM; creating a challenge from PM (CA) to confirm my intentions. Past the threshold (below 50 feet); the aircraft began to roll and was pushed slightly left of centerline due to wake turbulence. I rolled the aircraft back and attempted to correct back to centerline. I accepted a landing slightly left of centerline and the landing rollout was uneventful. After landing; ACARS data reflected a 5.0 degree bank on landing (maximum 7.5). In hindsight; a go-around would have been a better choice.
