Not quite. We believe that works are a PRODUCT of being in-dwelt with the Holy Spirit, not a separate way to Heaven. It is part of the sanctification process, not the justified — which only occurs once (according to Scripture) when one comes to faith in Christ.

Sorry - that last bit should read “justification” — not “justified”.

The Christian view is that one IS saved when one believes in Christ.

Works are a result of being saved, but add nothing to salvation.
