Sure, they'll say they have faith, too, but it really has been pushed in the background as far as being salvific is concerned, because unless they have all these works to show, faith is not enough.

But they don't have the same faith that we do...It doesn't even have the same meaning to them...

Their 'faith' is their religion, the Catholic religion...They commonly ask, what 'faith' are you...As if faith is a denomination...

That's because to them it IS. They call it *the Faith*.

The Biblical definition of *faith is

Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.
