It is Catholic teaching that grace is not a result of works, this is why it is in the Letter to the Ephesians.

If it is not by works...which is what Paul is saying...then it is by faith...and only faith that we are saved.

Sure, then it is negated by useless works and false sacraments.

Nor is Catholic merit nor catholic grace able to save a soul.
