No, Faith saves! There are zero verses that attribute salvation to the simple fact that Yehova offers grace to all.

Make up your mind! Faith DOES save us - like I have said all along - but the REASON it saves us is because of God's grace. The GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord - THAT is grace! By GRACE are we saved THROUGH faith and that not of ourselves lest ANY should boast.

You said before that Scripture in NO PLACE says grace saves us. Now, when you have been shown it most certainly does say that, you move the goalposts and claim "There are zero verses that attribute salvation to the simple fact that Yehova offers grace to all.". What are you actually saying here? That God doesn't offer salvation to "whosoever believes"? You're wrong. Are you saying that nowhere in Scripture does it say everyone is saved because God offers grace to all? Again, no one ever claimed that. The gift of God is eternal life and is offered by His grace which we RECEIVE by faith, by believing in Christ Jesus and what He has done for us and we WILL go to heaven when we die. That IS His promise to us and He keeps His promises. This is verified throughout Scripture. It is an assurance God has given to us so that we can know we have eternal life.

I can't help but think you are playing word games just like cultists are known to do. I'm done playing yours. I invite you once again to open a RF thread to have a discussion about what exactly your religious beliefs are. If you are so convinced Michael Rood is a true prophet and servant of God, then put forth your evidence. Referring people to YouTube videos and books he wrote won't cut it - you should know that by now.

No! The reason it saves is that it delivers the “righteousness of Yehova.”
