But what are the consequences of the lack of good works. Let us give a modern example: Is someone who continues in homosexual acts without any remorse saved if he truly believes that Jesus covers all of his sins?

Once again you show that you don’t know what Lutherans, at least, actually teach.
I remain sick of the implications that we don’t take sin seriously.

I was writing about general Protestant beliefs, not specifically Lutheran. As to the question that I posed, I frankly do not know what answer you would give. One of my frustrations in these discussions with Protestants over the question of faith and works is that I get what seem to be equivocal and contradictory answers to the question. So please do not take offense if I ask it once again. I can only know how to address you (as opposed to other Protestant in the forum) once I have an answer. So again: Is someone who continues in homosexual acts without any remorse saved if he truly believes that Jesus covers all of his sins?
