“The problem is they do not have salvation from Jesus Christ.. they have salvation by works.. including some suffering ... that doctrine negates the cross”

That’s a complete FALSEHOOD. We believe we are saved ONLY by the grace of Christ. We just believe that we receive grace for both faith and works and even those works are actually HIS works started in us. None of that negates the cross. All of it comes FROM the cross.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

If you think you earn grace it's no longer grace but a debt.

...”We believe we are saved ONLY by the grace of Christ”....

What is Grace ....and how does it affect a believer?
