>>I said nothing and IMPLIED nothing about EARNING grace.<<

This comment says you did. vlad - "We just believe that we receive grace for both faith and works"

You receive grace through work. That's earning grace.

>>You stand opposed to God’s Word<<

I stand opposed? Those were not my words they were the Holy Spirit through Paul. Here it is again.

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

I leave your snippy personal comments alone.

“You receive grace through work. That’s earning grace.”

They are CHRIST’S WORKS that He starts in me. I earn nothing. He freely gives to me. That’s grace.

“The Catholic Church has never taught we “earn” our salvation. It is an inheritance (Galatians 5:21), freely given to anyone who becomes a child of God (1 John 3:1), so long as they remain that way (John 15:1-11). You can’t earn it but you can lose the free gift given from the Father (James 1:17).” http://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/FAWORKS.HTM
