Yes we all need to have faith in Jesus and His Church, but our actions (works) need to reflect that faith. We are to love God and our neighbor.

No. It's faith in Jesus. PERIOD.

NOT faith in Jesus and fill in the blank.

Jesus work on the cross was enough and needs to supplementing.

? There's not a single place in Scripture where faith in th4e Catholic church, or participation in the Catholic church is ever made a requirement for salvation.

Only the Catholic church claims that. Conveniently.

One will always find some other entity, whether it be Mary or the ‘church’ is the object of the worship. And yet denial is in full force when called out on where the emphasis is literally placed.

Metmon states: “There’s not a single place in Scripture where faith in th4e Catholic church, or participation in the Catholic church is ever made a requirement for salvation.”

Are you sure? I think you are in denial. Here is one reference. There are others. Can you obtain the Eucharist - the Real Presence of Jesus anywhere but the Catholic Church?

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:53–56).
